It's a relationship that's stood the test of time. Switzerland was the first country in continental Europe to sign a Free Trade Agreement with China. Now, the clocks have moved 12 years forward, and the deal is being strengthened. Swiss-made watches among the goods that will be exempt from tariffs when they're exported to China.
Under the existing deal, about half of Swiss exports are granted duty-free access to China. That will increase to nearly one hundred percent under the new agreement, with pharmaceuticals and machinery among the goods and products to benefit.
Services, investment and market access are also covered, giving Swiss companies more opportunities to do business there.
China is one of Switzerland's most important trading partners outside the European Union, and the revised deal comes as both sides look to strengthen economic ties.
The upgraded deal still needs legal review and domestic approval before it can take effect.
