Bilateral relations, migration, the border between Italy and Switzerland, relations between Switzerland and the EU, were at the centre of talks in Rome between Alfano and his Swiss counterpart Ignazio Cassis at the foreign ministry in Rome.
Italy's upcoming 2018 chairmanship of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OCSE) was also on the agenda at Tuesday's talks.
