TEHRAN (FNA)- Egyptian President Mohammad Mursi has voiced preparedness to participate in the 16th heads-of-state summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Tehran late August, an Iranian official confirmed on Friday.
The spokesman of the NAM summit Mohammad Reza Forqani, who is accompanying Vice-President Hamid Baqayee to Cairo to submit the invitation message of the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Mursi, said that President Mursi has expressed his preparedness to attend the summit.
He stressed that the meeting was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere, and added the two sides discussed bilateral ties and ways of further promoting mutual relations.
Mursi thanked President Ahmadinejad for his invitation, Forqani added.
The 16th NAM summit will be held in Tehran from August 26 to 31.
Iran will assume the rotating presidency of the movement from Egypt for three years during the upcoming summit.
NAM is comprised of some 120 member states and 17 observer countries.
NAM is an international organization of states considering themselves not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. NAM is the largest grouping of countries outside of the United Nations.
NAM member states represent nearly two-thirds of the United Nations' members and comprise 55% of the world population, particularly countries considered to be developing.
