New Honorary Consul of Switzerland in Toronto

(Alexandra Soriano)
A new chapter has started for me and I would like to take this opportunity to thank every board member, member and SCCC enthusiast for your support in my role as SCCC President over the past years.

You have made me feel respected and valued as a person and professional with your recommendations and support in every step of the SCCC development. We have successfully collaborated in many ways to bring the Chamber to a higher level, embracing digitalization, performance and optimizing our services to our members with a new and innovative approach.

I have no doubt that the future of the SCCC is in good hands with Sandra Leuba and the Board of Directors and I am grateful that I will be able to stay close to the organization.

In my new role as Honorary Consul of Switzerland in Toronto, I have the pleasure of carrying out my responsibilities as representative of the Swiss government in the GTA and to contribute to the economical, political and cultural ties between Canada and Switzerland.

It is a great privilege and I look forward to serving as a local liaison to the Swiss community in the GTA, to maintaining interconnections with provincial administrations and to providing trade and business advice to the Swiss official representations in Canada. I will be going all out to promote Switzerland, its values and ideals.

Appointed by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in Bern, I am supported in my role by the Consulate General of Switzerland in Montreal, with whom I maintain continual communication. My sincere thanks go to Consul General Line Leon-Pernet for trusting me in this important role and to the Swiss citizens in the GTA, with whom I look forward to being in touch. We are all connected and share genuine commitment to and love for Switzerland. I am confident that together, we can continue to proudly promote Switzerland’s legendary image, presence and relevance. 

A heartfelt thank you to all of you.
