Pakistan and Qatar said that the talks between the US and Iran in Switzerland ended in a positive and constructive atmosphere. The two mediators also reported promising progress on several important issues. This information was reported in a report by Middle East Eye.
The joint statement of the two countries said that to advance the talks on the basis of the previous memorandum of understanding, the two sides agreed to establish a new mechanism for further technical-level dialogue.
The statement also said that a high-level committee will be formed for political oversight of the mediation process. The chief negotiators will regularly inform the committee about the progress. In addition, separate working groups will work on nuclear issues, sanctions, monitoring and dispute resolution.
The committee also agreed on a roadmap aimed at reaching a final agreement within 60 days. In addition, the two sides decided to establish a direct communication channel to avoid possible misunderstandings and unforeseen events and to ensure the safe passage of commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed that significant progress has been made in ending the Lebanon war. He made this claim in a post in response to a joint statement by Pakistan and Qatar. In the post, Araghchi wrote, “Significant progress has been made in ending the Lebanon war as a result of the relentless mediation of Pakistan and Qatar.”
Araghchi claimed that as part of this, restrictions on the export of oil and petrochemical products have been eased, sanctions have been lifted, some seized assets have been released, and a major reconstruction and development plan has been launched for Iran.
