Born in a small village in Appenzell, Switzerland, Ambassador Walter’s journey in diplomacy began after earning a doctorate in public governance from the University of St. Gallen, where he specialized in international affairs and diplomacy. 

 

He joined the Swiss diplomatic service in 1974 and has since represented Switzerland across the globe in a career spanning nearly four decades. Among his many postings, he served as Ambassador to Senegal, The Gambia, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, and Cape Verde, with residence in Dakar, before leading the Swiss Mission to the United Nations in Geneva. Later, he served as Ambassador to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Türkiye, Azerbaijan, and the Russian Federation. 

 

After retiring in 2011, Ambassador Walter remained deeply engaged in international affairs, contributing to academic programs and serving as Rotary International’s representative to the United Nations in Geneva. He now focuses on writing and sharing insights gained from his career, emphasizing the importance of governance and multilateral cooperation.
