GENEVA, June 13 — Switzerland has offered to host the potential signing of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, the Swiss foreign ministry told AFP on Friday.
“Switzerland is fully engaged. We are in close contact with the United States and Iran,” the ministry said in a brief statement to AFP.
A senior official in President Donald Trump’s administration said Friday that the United States was “80 to 85 per cent” confident of securing an agreement with Tehran to end the war in the coming days.
The Swiss foreign ministry said it is actively involved “to support efforts toward a Memorandum of Understanding intended to consolidate the truce and pave the way for de-escalation in the context of the conflict between Iran and the USA”.
It added that it “has proposed Switzerland as the venue for a possible signing, should the parties agree to it”.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif — which has acted as a mediator in efforts to end the war — said Friday that the text of a peace deal had been agreed. — AFP
