US and Iranian negotiators arrive in Swiss resort for latest round of peace talks
The two sides have a 60-day window to try to secure a ceasefire and reach a deal on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme
Top negotiators from the United States, Iran and Pakistan have arrived in Switzerland ahead of talks that aim to secure a fragile ceasefire and reach a deal on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme.
Before setting off from the US, Vance told reporters at the Andrews airbase in Maryland that he expected “a couple of days of talks”.
“I think we’re going to hopefully make progress on the nuclear issue, make progress on the Lebanon ceasefire issue,” he said.
On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran was willing to provide assurances that the country was not seeking to develop a nuclear weapon, Agence France-Presse reported, but would not relinquish its right to enrich uranium.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir, the chief of the defence forces, who are acting as key mediators, had also arrived, Sharif’s office announced on social media.
