Iran FM in Baku to attend NAM meet, hailing it as ‘unique scope’ to build multilateralism, tackle global challenges
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has arrived in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku to take part in the Ministerial Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), saying that movement lends a “unique scope” to expand multilateralism and tackle new global challenges.
“Given the diversity of its member states, the Non-Aligned Movement lends a unique opportunity for enhancing multilateralism as well as collective thinking for tackling new global challenges,” said the top Iranian diplomat in a Twitter post on Tuesday upon his arrival in Baku.
He added that his visit to the Azerbaijani capital would also provide an opportunity to further promote Iran’s policy of good neighborliness across the region.
The Iranian foreign minister is scheduled to deliver a speech at the Baku meeting and also attend the NAM Ministerial Committee on Palestine.
The member states of the movement and some international organizations are expected to participate in the Baku meeting, whose main theme is “NAM: United and steadfast in confronting emerging challenges.”
It is expected that the meeting will consider preparations for the upcoming 19th Summit Conference of the NAM Heads of State and Government, slated to be held in Kampala, Uganda, on January 15-20, 2024.
The meeting will review the movement’s principled positions on global issues pertaining to development, human rights, peace and security, and the promotion and preservation of multilateralism, in line with the Charter of the United Nations and the Bandung Founding Principles of the NAM.
With its 120 member states, the NAM is the largest grouping of countries outside of the UN, making it an important role player in global and multilateral affairs.
