In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said it had taken note of the joint statement issued by Qatar and Pakistan, who acted as mediators between Washington and Tehran in the context of the conflict in the Middle East.
"The Swiss facilitator welcomes the constructive progress made during the intensive diplomatic talks that continued throughout the night of 21-22 June at the Burgenstock between the mediators, Iran and the United States," the ministry said.
