Reuters and other news outlets reported last week that Lula wanted former Finance Minister Guido Mantega to be appointed to a board seat at the mining giant or even as its chief executive.
Vale’s share price dropped in reaction to the reports.
Silveira’s comments to journalists on Friday followed a report from newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo saying Mantega would release a letter dropping out of the race for a potential role at Vale.
Mantega could not be immediately reached for comments.
Silveira added Lula would never interfere in a publicly traded company. The minister denied any personal involvement in a government recommendation about who should sit on Vale’s board.
