NAM expresses support for Iran’s nuclear program

TEHRAN, Sept. 1 (MNA) - At the end of its 6-day session in Tehran the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) issued a final resolution late on Friday which included over seven-hundred clauses. The final communiqué expressed support for Iran’s nuclear energy program, rejected the United States’ unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic, and called for greater efforts to support the Palestinian cause, according to Press TV. The need to combat Islamophobia and racism throughout the world as well as global nuclear disarmament were some of the other key issues mentioned in the document. The draft resolution had been drawn up and approved during the meetings of experts and foreign ministers. Over 100 countries sent representatives to the NAM summit, which kicked off on Sunday with a two-day expert-level meeting, followed by a foreign ministerial meeting that ended on Wednesday.
