Tasnim � Iranian President�s Chief of Staff Mahmoud Vaezi dismissed speculation that President Hassan Rouhani may hold a meeting with his US counterpart Donald Trump in New York next month.

Speaking to Tasnim on Saturday, Vaezi said Rouhani�s recent remark that he would not mind meeting with others to serve Iran�s national interests does not suggest a meeting with Trump at all.

The president was trying to highlight the administration�s efforts to settle the problems and promote social welfare without any political intentions, he added.

Vaezi emphasized that there are no plans for a meeting between Rouhani and Trump in New York.

In a speech a few days ago, Rouhani said he would definitely meet someone at a meeting if it resolves the country�s problems and serves the national interests.
