Switzerland is stepping up security measures ahead of the G7 summit in France
The summit, which will take place from June 15 to 17 on the shores of Lake Geneva in the French town of Evian-les-Bains, will bring together leaders from the world’s leading economies, including U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as other high-level delegations. Representatives of the Swiss Army stated that the scale of the event and its proximity to the Swiss border require close coordination between civilian and military authorities.
"The proximity to the border poses a serious challenge for security agencies in the cantons of Vaud, Geneva, and Valais. As a result, the Federal Council and Parliament have decided to deploy additional military forces to ensure security," the military stated.
The military will be tasked with guarding critical infrastructure, including Geneva Airport, strengthening border surveillance, and monitoring key transportation routes and Lake Geneva.
The Swiss Air Force will also intensify airspace patrols, imposing flight restrictions from June 10 to 19, and will provide anti-drone systems and protection against nuclear, biological, and chemical threats.
