Switzerland intends to continue supporting this process, Nicolas Bideau, a spokesperson for the Swiss foreign ministry, told news agency Keystone-SDA. “Our aim is for our diplomacy to continue to contribute to de-escalation, stability and peace,” Bideau said.
Switzerland welcomed the roadmap for the continuation of talks over a 60-day period, in accordance with the memorandum of understanding signed last week by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Massoud Peseschkian. This creates “the conditions for the immediate resumption of new talks”, said Bideau.
