Nearly 90 countries and organizations, half from Europe, have confirmed attending the Swiss-hosted Ukraine peace summit over the weekend despite Russia's refusal to participate in the conference, Switzerland's president said on Monday.

Greek collaboration with Switzerland in the sectors of pharmaceuticals, research and technology, energy, and managing of infrastructure were discussed between Greek Development Minister Kostas Skrekas and visiting Swiss Federal Councilor and head of the Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research Guy Parmelin.
