Islamabad MoU follow-up tops agenda as Pakistan's interior minister meets Araghchi
Pakistan's Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi has met with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to discuss the latest developments regarding the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, as both sides continue consultations following the agreement between Tehran and Washington.
The Saturday meeting is part of ongoing consultations between Pakistani officials and Iran following the agreement that ended the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Naqvi, who visited the holy shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad hours before the meeting, had also traveled to Tehran earlier this month to deliver a written message from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
Pakistan has served as the main mediator in Iran-US negotiations since a temporary ceasefire was established on April 8.
Over the past two months, Pakistani officials—including Army Chief General Asim Munir, Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, and Interior Minister Naqvi—have made multiple trips to Tehran to maintain the ceasefire and pave the way for an agreement.
Their efforts culminated on June 18 with the signing of the Islamabad memorandum by the presidents of Iran and the United States.
Following the signing, Iran and the US are set to begin 60 days of negotiations aimed at reaching a final settlement.
Technical Talks Set for Switzerland
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry announced on Saturday that technical negotiations between Iran and the US will be held on Sunday in Burgenstock, Switzerland.
Switzerland's Foreign Ministry said diplomats from several countries met on Saturday at a Swiss resort to maintain dialogue on the initial understanding between Washington and Tehran to halt the war in West Asia.
The talks took place at the Burgenstock mountain resort near Lucerne, though further details were not provided.
A diplomatic source told AFP that Saturday's discussions were preliminary in nature. The high-level talks had originally been scheduled for Friday but were postponed due to continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire in southern Lebanon.
RTS reported that technical teams from the US, Iran, Qatar, and Pakistan—as mediator—were present at the talks.
