In a recent announcement, Iran’s Vice-President Mohammad Javad Zarif has confirmed that he will not engage in any talks with US officials during his attendance at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. This decision has drawn attention, especially considering the ongoing discussions surrounding Iran’s international relations.
The office of Vice-President Zarif issued a statement on Wednesday urging both individuals and media outlets to avoid spreading rumors regarding his trip. Here are some key points from the statement:
- Zarif, who serves as the vice president for strategic affairs, is attending the WEF at the invitation of the organization.
- The statement emphasized that “no negotiations have been held in Davos” with the United States or any other third country.
- Any potential negotiations will be conducted according to the decisions of Iran’s highest authorities and will follow the established diplomatic frameworks, primarily through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Moreover, Zarif, a former Iranian foreign minister, departed Tehran on Monday to participate in the Davos 2025 meeting, themed “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age.” This event gathers leaders from around the world to discuss significant international and regional challenges.
During the course of the meeting, Zarif is expected to have an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, further highlighting Iran’s position on various global issues.
In summary, while speculation about US-Iran relations persists, Vice-President Zarif’s stance remains clear as he prepares for this influential global gathering.
