The foreign policy advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution says the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is in need of fundamental reforms to restructure the international organization, Press TV reports.
Ali Akbar Velayati made the comment in a Tuesday address at the opening session of the 1st International Scientific Conference on NAM, emphasizing that the movement “needs to undergo reforms and changes in terms of its infrastructure and content.”
“One of the current problems in the movement is the lack of a permanent secretariat, which must be fundamentally dealt with,” said Velayati, who also serves as Secretary General of the International Islamic Awakening Conference.
He further emphasized that the upcoming NAM summit in Tehran will serve as a good opportunity to discuss and plan such reforms.
