Qatar and Pakistan cite 'encouraging progress' after US-Iran talks
Mediators Qatar and Pakistan said talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland concluded in a "positive and constructive atmosphere," offering the strongest indication yet that negotiators were able to make progress despite a tense start.
In a joint statement issued after the talks, the two countries said "encouraging progress" had been achieved and announced the creation of a mechanism for further technical discussions.
The statement follows nearly 18 hours of negotiations in Buergenstock aimed at implementing the memorandum of understanding signed by Tehran and Washington last week.
