‘Global management in need of overhaul’

Speaking at a Tuesday conference on the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the Iranian capital city, Tehran, Salehi pointed to “joint global management,” as the NAM’s major motto, IRNA reported.

“Now it is the time to seize the global management from certain powers and, to do that, it is necessary to make a basic revision in the global management system,” he added.

The Iranian minister praised the ample potentials of the NAM member states and argued that such capabilities should be exploited for the establishment of justice among the world nations and settlement of international disputes.

“By studying global developments, particularly over the past decade and after the regional and world wars during that period, we realize that all the world’s problems are caused by lack of spirituality and attention of the rulers and powers to materialistic issues,” Salehi added.

He pointed to the key regional and global developments over the past two years, including the Islamic Awakening across the Arab world and the anti-capitalism Occupy Movement across the major Western cities, and stressed that the upcoming NAM meeting will put discussion of those issues on its agenda.

Iran will host the 16th summit of the NAM member states on August 26-31.

The Islamic Republic will also assume the rotating presidency of the movement for three years during the Tehran summit.

NAM, an international organization with 120 member states and 17 observer countries, is considered as not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc.

Its purpose, as stated in the Havana Declaration of 1979, is to ensure “the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries.”
