Top-Level Delegations from Both Countries Gather to Discuss Follow-Up Measures

Follow-up negotiations on the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran are being held in Switzerland on June 21 (local time) for a one-day schedule.

Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in an interview with Iran's state-run IRNA news agency that "meetings will be held throughout the day," adding, "In the morning, we will each hold bilateral talks with the delegations from Pakistan and Qatar, who are acting as mediators."

He continued, "In the afternoon, a four-party meeting will be held between the Iranian and U.S. delegations, with the representatives of Qatar and Pakistan also in attendance."

On the U.S. side, Vice President JD Vance is serving as the chief representative, and the negotiation team includes Steve Witkoff, Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs, and Jared Kushner, former senior adviser to the White House.

The Iranian delegation is led by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Parliament, and includes Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati, and Hamid Board, Deputy Minister of Petroleum and President of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC).

Notably, Governor Hemmati and President Board also participated in the U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations held in Islamabad, Pakistan, in April. In this meeting, key agenda items are expected to include the implementation of the ceasefire, the easing of sanctions, and the normalization of energy exports.
