US Vice President JD Vance on Sunday said that “great progress has been made” over the last few hours in talks with Iran, and expressed hope that “additional progress” would be made in the coming hours as talks between the two sides kicked off in Switzerland, Anadolu reports.
“We’ve already made great progress over just the last few hours, and I expect it will make additional progress” in the coming hours, Vance said in his remarks before the opening of talks in Burgenstock.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, together with his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, opened the talks aimed at implementing the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed on June 17.
Vance said that the objective of talks with Iran is to “transform” the Middle East.
