We were honoured to receive the Swiss Federal Councillor and Minister of Defence, Guy Parmelin on Thursday, 27 October. During his visit to our offices, he heard more about what the GICHD does, where we work around the world, and the effects of landmines and other explosive hazards.
Accompanying him were Christian Catrina, Head of Security Policy, Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport and Lieutenant General Dominique Andrey, senior military advisor.
