Tehran, YJC. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and US Secretary of State John Kerry met on the sidelines of 45th World Economic Forum in Davos on Saturday.
Meeting on the sidelines of World Economic Forum in Davos, Zarif
met Kerry to hold talks on Iran’s nuclear case.
The Iranian FM stated in the meeting that Iranian and
European sides would hold talks in Zurich to reach a deal on Iran’s nuclear
issue expressing hope to expedite negotiations to avoid any potential effort
leading to a collapse in N-talks.
Warning that more sanctions by the US Congress would kill
the negotiating process, Zarif said "we pursue an acceptable deal which
recognizes Iranian rights and dignity."
Zarif reiterated that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons,
adding that "we can prove our nuclear program will not lead to the production
of weapons.”
Today, Zarif reportedly will leave Davos for Riyadh to
attend the funeral ceremony of Suadi King Abdullah who died at the age of 90
earlier on Thursday evening after being hospitalized since December 31, 2014
suffering respiratory problems due to pneumonia.
