Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in Switzerland on Sunday to attend technical-level talks between Iran and the United States set for today.
The development comes after the long-awaited peace deal was signed on Thursday, heralding an end to months of bitter animosity that had gripped the Middle East and plunged the world into an economic crisis. Under the agreement, the US and Iran have agreed on a framework to end the war, lift the US blockade of Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The Prime Minister’s Office said Shehbaz and his delegation arrived in Zurich. Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Asim Munir will also participate in the talks.
The PMO had confirmed the premier’s departure at around 1am.
