The ministry emphasized the significance of the summit held in Washington, D.C., which brought together the leaders of Azerbaijan, the US, and Armenia, noting its importance in the broader process of normalizing relations between the two South Caucasus countries. It welcomed what it described as "recent significant positive developments" between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including the joint declaration adopted in Washington, D.C., on August 8, 2025, and encouraged both sides to fully implement the agreed measures and sustain their engagement toward a durable peace, which it stressed would benefit their populations and the wider region.

During its OSCE Chairpersonship, Switzerland stated that it intends to promote inclusive dialogue on security and to work closely with all participating States, while also advancing consensus-based decisions acceptable to all 57 participating States. The ministry emphasized that this work would be carried out at various levels, guided by the priorities of the Swiss Chairpersonship, and supported by several international conferences designed to address key challenges. Ignazio Cassis, the Federal Councillor and Chairman-in-Office of the OSCE, stated that Switzerland aimed to ensure that OSCE instruments could be made available to participating States upon request, regardless of region. He emphasized that, in this capacity, he planned to visit several participating States, while noting that travel plans had not yet been officially announced and that no further details regarding specific visits or agendas could be provided at this stage.
