According to reports, US Vice President J. D. Vance has arrived in Switzerland to begin technical discussions with Iran. The exact time of his arrival is not yet known.<\/p>\n
On site are also the U.S. President\u2019s Special Envoy Steve Vitkoff and Donald Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner. They are focusing on the technical aspects of the negotiations, which have come under scrutiny due to the ongoing fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will plan the negotiations when representatives of the Iranian government, as well as the governments of Qatar and Pakistan, arrive. This could happen as early as tomorrow, but such things always change a bit\u201d<\/p>\n

The negotiations remain an important component of the diplomatic dialogue between the parties, with a focus on the technical aspects and avenues of mutual understanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senior US envoys convene on a Swiss resort, with Pakistan and Qatar mediating a sensitive technical dialogue with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[44883,44884,4419,1202,44885,17,44882,4871],"class_list":["post-88567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-switzerland","tag-burgenstock-talks","tag-j-d-vance-switzerland","tag-jared-kushner","tag-news","tag-pakistan-qatar-mediation","tag-switzerland","tag-us-iran-talks-j-d-vance-switzerland-pakistan-qatar-mediation-burgenstock-talks-jared-kushner","tag-us-iran-talks"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116784071194506399","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
