Akiko Uehara
Head of International language departments
I lead the international language services at SWI swissinfo.ch, ensuring that our content is engaging for a global audience. I oversee six departments: Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese and Spanish. I also work on stories related to International Geneva. Born in Yokohama, Japan, I have lived in Switzerland since 1999 and hold a Masters degree in international relations. I have been working for SWI swissinfo.ch since 2016, following 15 years for Asahi Shimbun at the United Nations office in Geneva, where I followed multilateral and Swiss affairs.
