The board of directors
Margareta Kiener Nellen
President
"I am involved in the Friendship Association Swiss-Belarus" because I would like to bring the exciting country Belarus, which is still little known here, closer to the people in Switzerland and strengthen the exchange between the two countries and peoples!
Peter Graf
Leiter Finanzen
"Sehr viele Leute, die ich auf Ihrer ersten Reise nach Belarus begleiten durfte, waren vom Land und
den Leuten genauso begeistert, dass sich Ihre teilweise vorhandenen Vorurteile auflösten. Für mich ist es deshalb eine Freude und Ehre, mich beim Knüpfen von weiteren Freundschaften zwischen der Schweiz und Belarus zu engagieren. Belarus ist ein wenig bekanntes, faszinierendes Land mit fantastischen Leuten."
Marya Imbach
"In addition to my work, I would like to create added value for society through my volunteer work. I would like to support cultural exchange, education and humanitarian causes as well as the development of friendly relations between my two home countries, which are close to my heart: Switzerland and Belarus".
Dieter Dreyer
"During my five years in Belarus, I realized that the country in the middle of Europe with its 10 million inhabitants is either not known at all or only through prejudice. With pleasure I support the Friendship Association in pointing out the hidden possibilities in the economic, cultural or touristic area".
Philippe Echimov
Vice President
"There is always something beautiful about bringing two cultures together, namely that both sides not only become more diverse, but also grow and become richer as a population. I believe that Switzerland and Belarus should intensify their friendships - which benefits everyone. "
Algerd Skarulis
"Coincidentally, I have two home countries, Switzerland and Belarus. They are my wings, my support and my hope. I really want my two home countries to live in peace and friendship. And I will contribute to that. This is important, vital for me ."
Vladislav Sakhashchik
“The association follows the right idea to use and further develop the grown relations between Switzerland and Belarus, to get to know and understand each other better in the context of various projects, in an ongoing mutually beneficial exchange of experiences and thus to promote a bilateral dialogue.”
