“The NAM summit in Tehran has great significance, given the position of the Islamic Republic and the Western countries’ particular propaganda against Iran,” Mortazavi told IRNA on Friday.
The 16th NAM summit will be held in Tehran August 26-31.
Iran will receive the rotating presidency of the movement from Egypt for three years during the Tehran summit.
The official also dismissed Western claims about Iran’s isolation and said the Islamic Republic will never be isolated under any circumstances, noting that the country has now turned into a model for all nations.
NAM, an international organization with 120 member states, is considered as not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc.
The movement’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.”
