(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Lebanese president will pay a visit to Iran on August 29 at the head of a delegation including Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour.
During his stay in Tehran, Suleiman is also scheduled to hold talks with senior Iranian officials including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi extended Ahmadinejad’s invitation to his Lebanese counterpart in May to take part in the NAM summit in Tehran.
The 16th summit of the NAM member states will be held on August 26-31 in the Iranian capital during which the Islamic Republic will assume the rotating presidency of the movement for three years.
NAM, an international organization with 120 member states and 21 observer countries, is considered as not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc.
On Wednesday, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said the United Nation Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will attend the upcoming summit of the movement despite pressures from the US and Israel.
