Pakistan and Qatar announce roadmap towards final US-Iran agreement
Pakistan and Qatar said talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland were conducted in a "positive and constructive atmosphere", with mediators reporting encouraging progress on several key issues.
In a joint statement, the two countries said the parties had agreed to create a mechanism for further technical talks as efforts continue to build on the memorandum of understanding reached earlier.
The statement said a High-Level Committee would be established to provide political oversight of the mediation process, with chief negotiators reporting regularly and leading working groups focused on nuclear issues, sanctions, and monitoring and dispute resolution.
The committee has also agreed on a roadmap aimed at reaching a final agreement within 60 days.
In addition, the parties established a direct communication channel intended to prevent incidents and misunderstandings and help ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
