Amman, June 19 (Petra)– Switzerland’s Federal Department of Foreign
Affairs announced on Friday the postponement of talks that had been
scheduled to take place between the United States and Iran at the
Bürgenstock mountain resort.
In a statement, the Swiss Foreign Ministry said: “The planned talks
between the United States, Iran, Qatar and Pakistan have been
postponed. Switzerland remains ready to facilitate these discussions.
The necessary preparatory work is continuing.”
The ministry did not specify a new date for the negotiations.
The announcement came after a White House spokesperson said in recent
hours that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance would not travel to
Switzerland for the discussions aimed at ending the conflict with
Iran, according to the European news network Euronews.
“The logistics of these negotiations have been challenging and
difficult to predict,” the White House spokesperson said. “As a
result, the Vice President will not travel to Switzerland at this
time.”
The spokesperson added that U.S. officials remain hopeful that
technical-level discussions can begin as soon as possible.
