Swiss resort to host signing of US-Iran agreement Friday
The Swiss mountain resort of Bürgenstock will host the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran on Friday, Swiss officials have confirmed.
The Swiss foreign ministry told CNN that the signing ceremony would take place at the Bürgenstock Resort overlooking lake Lucerne, rather than Geneva as originally planned.
It said it had been in “close contact” with the US, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar before agreeing on the location.
“The signing is scheduled for Friday, June 19, at Bürgenstock in the canton of Nidwalden. The location was proposed by the Pakistani and Qatari mediators, as well as by the US and Iran,” the ministry said.
Around 2,000 soldiers will secure the signing site, and a no-fly zone over the Bürgenstock mountain will be imposed from June 18 to June 20 to ensure security, the Swiss government said.
This is not the first time Bürgenstock has hosted a high-level diplomatic event. In June 2024, the resort hosted the Ukraine Peace Summit, which brought together delegations from around the world.
