Pakistan says US-Iran technical talks to be held in Switzerland on June 21 under Islamabad MoU

Pakistan announced that technical-level talks under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding will be held in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, on June 21, 2026.

Representatives of the United States and Iran will take part in the discussions, alongside mediators from Pakistan and Qatar. The meeting follows up on the landmark agreement signed earlier this month.

What is the purpose of the Switzerland talks under the Islamabad MoU?

According to a statement from Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the talks are aimed at advancing the understandings reached under the Islamabad MoU and exploring next steps in its implementation.

Pakistan said it will continue to facilitate the process in its role as mediator, reaffirming its commitment to supporting dialogue and promoting constructive engagement between the parties.

The Bürgenstock meeting marks another significant step in the diplomatic process initiated under the agreement.

Why does the Islamabad MoU matter for the wider US-Iran process?

The Islamabad MoU has been described as a key framework for fostering cooperation and mutual understanding between Washington and Tehran.

Pakistan's continued role as mediator places it at the centre of efforts to keep the broader regional peace process moving forward. The Switzerland talks represent the first technical-level follow-up since the framework was signed.
