US and Iranian delegations arrived in Switzerland as of Sunday for technical negotiations under the memorandum of understanding signed on Wednesday to end the months-long Middle East conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Anadolu reports.
The talks in Burgenstock will be led by US Vice President JD Vance, and on the Iranian side, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, under Pakistani mediation.
Before departing on Saturday, Vance said US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were already on the ground to address the “technical elements” of the negotiations.
Vance, who landed at Emmen Air Base north of Burgenstock, had also said he was “very confident” that Washington and Tehran could preserve the ceasefire established under the agreement, known as the Islamabad Memorandum.
Iran’s delegation had arrived hours earlier in Zurich, according to Iranian state media.
