(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Addressing 16th NAM Summit, al-Maliki said NAM should take measures to resolve growing ethnic and clan differences.
He said as founding NAM member, Iraq has been able to follow up NAM goals.
He called for the NAM to offer strategy to solve existing challenges in Iraq.
Iran will assume the rotating presidency of the movement for three years during the Tehran summit.
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.
The organization was founded in the former Yugoslavia in 1961. The countries of the Non-Aligned Movement represent nearly two-thirds of the UN members and contain 55% of the world population.
NAM's purpose, as stated in the Havana Declaration of 1979, is to ensure "the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries.”
