Earlier today, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif left Tehran for the Swiss city of Davos on Thursday to attend the 45th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
On the sidelines of the forum, he is scheduled to hold talks with his counterparts from the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) as well as European Union Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini over Tehrans peaceful nuclear energy program.
Last week, Tehran and world powers wrapped up the latest round of negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, with the next round slated for early February.
Negotiations between Iran and the Group 5+1 aim to hammer out a final agreement to end more than a decade of impasse over Tehrans peaceful nuclear program.
Meanwhile, nuclear negotiating teams from Iran and the United States are scheduled to hold talks on Friday and Saturday, January 23-24 in the Swiss city of Zurich.
