Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has departed for Switzerland to participate in US-Iran talks and monitor implementation of the memorandum of understanding between the two sides, according to Pakistani reports. The army chief will also attend the discussions on Sunday, as The Zioneer previously reported.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has left for Switzerland to join US-Iran talks, accompanied by the army chief. The visit confirms earlier indications reported by The Zioneer that the two senior Pakistani officials would attend the discussions on Sunday, June 21. The Pakistani delegation is expected to facilitate the implementation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, following Pakistan's role as a mediator in the talks. The development comes after days of contradictory signals about the venue and format: a planned visit by Sharif was reported canceled on June 18 without explanation, while Iran's Tasnim news agency at that time said no final decision on the Iranian delegation's travel had been made. On Saturday, Iran confirmed that Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf would lead the Iranian delegation to Switzerland. The precise agenda and duration of the Pakistan PM's visit remain unconfirmed; the reports did not specify whether a signing ceremony is scheduled for today.
