Summary
Shehbaz Sharif and army chief Asim Munir are heading to Burgenstock, Switzerland, to join U.S.-Iran talks as Pakistan takes a direct mediator role.
Sunday's talks are aimed at permanently ending a conflict that Pakistan says has thrown the Middle East into disarray.
Pakistan had already identified itself, alongside Qatar, as a mediator in the Switzerland channel between Washington and Tehran.
Earlier technical talks in Burgenstock focused on an interim nuclear arrangement, with a 60-day window for a broader agreement and disputes also touching Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz.
