The Swiss government announced on June 16 that the signing ceremony for the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to end the war between the United States and Iran will be held in the Swiss resort of Bürgenstock on the 19th (local time).
The signing ceremony was initially reported to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, where the United Nations headquarters and other international organizations are located.
The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs stated that the U.S., Iran, and the mediating countries, Pakistan and Qatar, proposed Bürgenstock as the venue for the signing ceremony, adding that it is communicating with these four nations to create the necessary diplomatic conditions.
Bürgenstock, located in the canton of Nidwalden in central Switzerland, is a resort area in the Alps.
It frequently hosts international events, including the 2024 Ukraine Peace Summit.
The Swiss Foreign Ministry added that it cannot disclose the procedures and details of the signing ceremony at this time.
The United States and Iran already electronically signed the MOU to end the war on the 14th.
Following the official MOU signing ceremony, which will be attended by negotiation representatives including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, both sides plan to hold follow-up working-level negotiations.
