South Korea and Switzerland held a seventh round of bilateral policy consultations, focusing on regional issues including the situation on the Korean Peninsula, following Swiss Foreign Minister's recent trip to North Korea.

The NNSC monitors the implementation of the Armistice Agreement that ended the Korean War, and Switzerland has maintained diplomatic relations with North Korea since 1974.
