Concert
“Forty years separate these two exceptional musicians, but everything brings them together in music: Lindemann's energetics, lyricism and inventiveness, the sense of melodic phrasing and great instrumental technique in the young and incredible virtuoso Jeanlou Treboux. The taste that these two musicians have in common for beautiful melodies, whether from the pen of Lindemann, Jeanlou, Chick Corea or Gary Burton, make this duo a sound alchemy, poetic or energetic, which carries the listener in a dreamlike and colourful musical journey.” JazzTimes

Statement by the Embassy of Switzerland in Singapore on the death penalty case of Mr. Micheal Anak Garing
Thursday, 21.03.2019
Tuesday, 31.12.2019
Speech
The Embassy of Switzerland in Singapore calls on the Singapore authorities to halt the execution of Mr. Micheal Anak Garing, to commute his sentence to a non-capital sentence and to adopt a moratorium on all executions. Today, more than two thirds of the countries of the world have become abolitionist in law or practice which confirms a global trend towards abolition of the death penalty. Switzerland holds a principled position against the death penalty and is opposed to the use of capital punishment under any circumstances. No compelling evidence exists to show that the death penalty serves as a deterrent to crime more efficient than imprisonment. Furthermore, any errors - inevitable in any legal system - are irreversible. Switzerland will continue supporting the universal trend towards the eradication of the death penalty.

Conference
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics will soon permeate every domain in our society and every aspect in our daily life, bringing new relationships between humans and technology. The advance of AI in domains such as autonomous driving, facial identification or healthcare and the developments of humanoid robots with autonomous behaviours and maybe soon emotions bring key interrogations and ethical issues for research, economic implementation or societal impact of AI and robotics.
