Egypt's Foreign Minister Dr Badr Abdelatty will host his counterparts in the Mediterranean city of Alamein on Sunday (June 21). The participants will include representatives from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, Cairo's foreign ministry confirmed. In a statement, the ministry stated Badr Abdelatty “will hold a quadrilateral meeting on Sunday with Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Pakistan's Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, followed by an expanded session of talks and a joint press conference.”
The ministry has not specified any further details on the agenda of the meeting. But the only stark point is that all the mentioned countries were impacted by the war and were actively involved in the mediation between Iran and the US. The four foreign ministers last convened in April during a diplomatic forum in Antalya, a Turkish resort city.
Their upcoming meeting in Alamein follows the Swiss foreign ministry's announcement that US-Iran talks in Switzerland, originally scheduled for Friday to follow up on a war-ending agreement, have been postponed. Consequently, the White House confirmed the cancellation of US Vice President JD Vance's planned trip to Switzerland for those talks.

The agreement, finalised earlier this week, was designed to stop the fighting, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, halt clashes between Israeli forces and Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, and launch a 60-day negotiation period regarding broader issues like Tehran's nuclear programme. On Thursday (June 18) JD Vance announced the commencement of the 60 days for negotiations between America and Iran. The agreement between the parties came into effect on Wednesday (June 17). Vance said. "I would say the 60-day period officially started today," Vance told journalists, adding that "the deal started yesterday." Despite the accord, fighting has already resumed between Israel and Hezbollah.
