The first session of the U.S.-Iran high-level talks under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has concluded in Burgenstock, Switzerland, according to a joint statement by thQatari and Pakistani foreign ministries on Monday.

The talks included representatives from Iran, the United States, and the two mediating countries.

It was held in a "positive and constructive atmosphere," with the participants making progress, including the establishment of a mechanism for further U.S.-Iran technical negotiations, according to the statement.

The parties agreed to establish a High-Level Committee to provide political oversight of the mediation process, with working groups focusing on nuclear issues, sanctions, monitoring, and dispute resolution, it said.

The High-Level Committee has agreed upon a roadmap towards reaching a final deal within 60 days, laying the groundwork for the immediate commencement of further technical talks.

A communication line between the parties has also been established for the period mentioned in the MoU to avoid incidents and miscommunication, with the aim of ensuring safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, said the statement.

Moreover, the parties agreed on the creation of a de-confliction cell between the parties and Lebanon, facilitated by the mediators, to ensure adherence to the termination of military operations in Lebanon as per the MoU.

Technical talks will continue for the remainder of the week at the Burgenstock resort on all issues, the statement said.

The mediating parties will continue to do their utmost to ensure that the negotiations proceed in a constructive atmosphere with the aim of reaching a final deal.

Also on Monday, Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei was quoted by Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency as saying that the work of the Iranian negotiating delegation has concluded for this stage, but technical teams from Iran and the United States will continue their work on Monday.

Baghaei said the two sides discussed issues including oil sales permits and the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and had made good progress.
