The Swiss government said on Friday that Martin Pfister will be the country's new defence minister when Viola Amherd steps down at the end of the month.

Separately, the government said it had approved a memorandum of understanding to step up defence cooperation with Singapore which would allow the two to deepen collaboration on research, development, innovation and defence procurement.
