Geneva: Switzerland announced Friday that planned talks following up on the deal to end the Middle East regional tension had been postponed, hours after US Vice President JD Vance's departure for the Alpine country was cancelled.
"The planned talks between the US, Iran, Qatar and Pakistan have been postponed," the Swiss foreign ministry said in a message to AFP.
"Switzerland remains ready to facilitate these talks. The relevant preparatory work at Burgenstock is continuing," it added, without providing a new date for the talks.
It followed the announcement late Thursday from the White House that Vance's trip was cancelled, with a spokesperson saying the "logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable."
"We look forward to beginning technical talks as soon as possible."
