Switzerland's Foreign Ministry says delegations from Iran, the United States, Qatar and Pakistan are currently scheduled to meet Friday at the Bürgenstock resort for preliminary talks on implementing the agreement, according to the Swiss ministry. No further details on the timeline or meeting format are available at this stage.
Switzerland's Foreign Ministry has confirmed that the venue and initial logistics for the next round of US-Iran talks are set. Delegations from Iran, the United States, Qatar, and Pakistan are expected to gather Friday at the Bürgenstock resort for preliminary discussions on implementing the emerging agreement, the ministry said in a statement on Thursday morning.
This marks the first confirmation from Bern that the talks will be multi-party, adding Qatar and Pakistan as participants alongside the two main negotiating partners. The meeting on Friday is described as "preliminary" regarding implementation terms, rather than the full signing ceremony that Pakistani and US officials had previously referenced.
As The Zioneer reported early Thursday morning, Iran's Foreign Ministry had earlier expressed uncertainty about whether Friday talks were confirmed, saying they had not yet approved the date. The Swiss statement now clarifies that the planning is moving ahead from the host nation's perspective. Earlier this week, Pakistan's Prime Minister confirmed that a memorandum of understanding signing would take place in Switzerland, while US officials had suggested Sunday as the signing date. The Friday meeting at Bürgenstock appears to be a pre-implementation working session, distinct from the ceremonial signing.
