Iran invites Egypt’s president to NAM

In their first telephone conversation on Wednesday, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad extended his congratulations to his Egyptian counterpart over his recent victory in Egypt’s presidential election and wished him success.

The 16th NAM summit will be held in Tehran on August 26-31.

Iran severed ties with Egypt after Cairo signed the 1978 Camp David Accords with the Israeli regime and offered asylum to Iran’s deposed monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Iran will receive the rotating presidency of the movement from Egypt for three years during the Tehran summit.

An international organization with some 120 member states and 17 observer countries, NAM represents nearly two-thirds of the UN members.
