Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Tuesday that the current world order is no longer valid and should undergo dramatic change, the official IRNA news agency reported.
"The current world order is unfair and therefore should be corrected," Mottaki was quoted as saying in his address to the 15th Ministerial Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) opened Tuesday morning at the Conference Hall of the Organization of the Islamic Conference in Tehran.
Solving world challenges and problems needs "global partnership", he said, adding that grounds have been prepared for accepting a dramatic change in the world order.
"Access to peace and justice is only possible through partnership of all nations," he said.
Mottaki further called for "refraining from unilateralism in order to help settle global crises."
Representatives from 118 members, 15 observer members and 8 international and regional organizations including 60 foreign ministers attended the two-day conference.
The conference is expected to review the developments and implementation of decisions made in the 14th NAM Summit in Havana in 2006, evaluate the latest international developments, particularly those related to the issues of interests for NAM member states, and also assess achievements made so far in the process of revitalization and strengthening of the NAM since the holding of the last Summit.
The NAM, founded in 1961 with 118 members as of 2007, is an international organization of states considering themselves not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. China became an observer to the NAM in 1992 which is made up of mostly developing countries from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
