President Ahmadinejad said he has planned to hold meetings with other NAM leaders on the sidelines of the General Assembly meeting to review the issues of the NAM member states.
He further hoped that he could take up the agenda of the Iranian nation and the NAM member states during his presence at the United Nations.
About his plan for New York visit, President Ahmadinejad said he is to present Iran's stand on the important global problems and offer proposals for removing them.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will leave Tehran for New York at the head of a delegation in the next few days in a bid to attend a UN General Assembly meeting and hold talks with senior heads of state who will participate in the meeting.
Tehran hosted the 16th NAM summit from August 26 to 31, including two days of talks among deputy foreign ministers followed by a two-day meeting of the NAM foreign ministers and eventually two days of talks among NAM leaders.
During the heads-of-state summit meeting on August 30-31, Iran inherited the three-year leadership of the Non-Aligned bloc, a platform for anti-Western sentiments and grievances over big-power domination.
NAM is a group of states considering themselves not aligned formally with or against any major power bloc. The movement had 120 members and 17 observer countries.
