(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Speaking to IRNA prior to his departure from Tehran, Caspi said proper cooperation has been formed during bilateral talks held on the sidelines of the two-day summit.
The 16th NAM Summit was inaugurated here Thursday with a speech by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
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.”
