“We believe that this proposal is acceptable, rational, fundamental and broad-based and it will be very difficult to oppose it,” Mehmanparast said on Saturday.
He added that Tehran’s proposal about Syria crisis could be discussed on the sidelines of the summit and such deliberations could be conducive to conceiving more plans to resolve the Arab country's problems.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011. Damascus blames ‘outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists’ for the unrest and deadly violence, but the opposition accuses the security forces of being behind the killings.
The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the armed insurgents are foreign nationals.
“The issues of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria as well as issues related to Latin American countries and Africa will be discussed during Tehran summit,” the Iranian official said.
The 16th summit of the NAM member states will be held in the Iranian capital on August 26-31.
NAM, an international organization with 120 member states and 21 observer countries, is considered as not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc.
NAM'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.”
