TEHRAN – An official here Wednesday dismissed media speculation that the Iranian vice president for strategic affairs Muhammad Javad Zarif had held talks with American representatives during his visit to Switzerland for participation in the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The director of Zarif’s media office rejected the “baseless rumors” that he had held talks with U.S. officials.

“No negotiations whatsoever have taken place in Davos with the U.S. or any other third country in this regard,” he said.

The official emphasized that any decision about talks with the U.S. is a prerogative of Iran’s top authorities and the foreign ministry.

This year’s meeting in Davos is held under the theme ‘Collaboration for the Intelligent Age’ and will be oriented around five distinct thematic priorities.

On Wednesday, Zarif attended a conversation with Fareed Zakaria, organized by the Center for Regions, Trade and Geopolitics.
