ISTANBUL, June 21 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The first round of four-party talks involving Iran and the United States (US), mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, has concluded in Switzerland, Anadolu Ajansi reported, citing Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency on Sunday.
Citing a source familiar with the Iranian negotiating team, the report said the initial round of the Swiss-hosted negotiations had been completed.
The meeting was suspended after approximately 80 minutes of talks to allow the participating delegations to conduct internal consultations, the source added.
No further details were immediately released on when the next session would begin.
Earlier in the day, Qatar announced the start of US-Iran negotiations in Switzerland, with the participation of Qatari and Pakistani mediators, to discuss the implementation of the terms of an interim agreement between the two sides.
US and Iranian delegations arrived early in Switzerland for technical negotiations under the memorandum of understanding signed on Wednesday to end the months-long West Asia conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The talks in Bürgenstock are being led by US Vice President JD Vance and, on the Iranian side, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, under Pakistani mediation.
