Pompeo attends secretive global meet in Switzerland
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will take part Saturday in a secretive meeting in Switzerland of global power brokers discreetly discussing issues like Brexit and the future of capitalism.
The State Department confirmed Saturday that Pompeo, who is on a four-nation tour of Europe, would take part in the four-day Bilderberg meeting, which kicked off on Thursday in the picturesque Swiss town of Montreux.
His participation had not been previously mentioned in the official agenda and he did not figure on the list of some 130 elites from 23 countries participating in the event.
Already on the list is US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner, who might use the forum to try to drum up support for his yet to be unveiled Middle East peace plan.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg and elder statesman Henry Kissinger also figure on the list of participants, as do Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire and German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen.
The group, which has met every year since 1954 and was created as a forum for fostering dialogue between Europe and North America, is this year discussing a range of topics such as climate change, the future of capitalism, the ethics of Artificial Intelligence, China, Russia and Brexit, the organizers said.
The Trump administration has taken strong and controversial stances on a number of the topics on the agenda, including swelling tensions with Beijing, complex relations with Moscow and a more than skeptical attitude to calls to fight climate change.
Pompeo himself recently hailed that climate change was helping open new sea routes in the usually frozen Arctic.
The luxury hotel where the talks are taking place has placed high bushes all around its perimeters to keep the press at bay.
'Cheese and chocolate fan'
The participants are meanwhile held to the so-called Chatham House Rule, meaning that participants are free to use the information received, but may not reveal the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker.
The secretive nature of the group has given birth to conspiracy theories. Some have warned, for example, that Bilderberg is a group of rich and powerful kingmakers seeking to impose a one world government.
Pompeo arrived in Switzerland on Friday on the second leg of his European tour, following a stop in Berlin and before travelling on to The Hague and London.
On Saturday morning, he and his wife Susan had a guided tour of Bern's Old Town, and on Sunday he is due to meet with his Swiss counterpart Ignazio Cassis.
Asked why he chose to stay for so long in Switzerland – from Friday afternoon through Monday morning – Pompeo told a group of journalists travelling with him that he is a "big cheese and chocolate fan". link

That the volume of trade exchange between Iraq and Saudi Arabia during the past ten years, six billion dollars, and perhaps more because of the influx of Saudi companies to Iraq rapidly. The service sector accounted for 57%, 38% for the industrial sector and 5% for agriculture.
In the context of Saudi investments in Iraq, economic projects are increasing, including the construction of a sports stadium in Baghdad, and its intention to open three consulates in Iraq in the coming period.
Iraq seeks to strengthen cooperation in five key sectors: the banking sector, energy, infrastructure, social development and security, especially after Saudi Arabia understood the Iraqi aspirations and started its investment projects in Iraq, fully aware of the daily deficiencies in the lives of Iraqis. All previous sectors.
In the agricultural sector, Saudi Arabia will implement large investment projects on more than one million hectares of agricultural land in the Anbar and Samawah desert adjacent to the Saudi border for the development of agriculture and livestock breeding, similar to the Saudi pasture experience.
As Adel Abdul Mahdi, the Iraqi Prime Minister, who works with economic thought and conscious, to develop the economy and work on the development of relations to serve the national interest of the country, as it needs more effort and joint work to reach economic stability, has been signed many agreements in various fields between The two countries.
