Baku, October 26: “The United States tried to impose on the world a unipolar and hegemonic order; US staged extensive and destructive wars in various regions of the world and especially in West Asia and inflicted hundreds of thousands of casualties and thousands of billions of dollars in damages on the nations of the region; In the opposite front, the Non-Aligned Movement demonstrated its determination to withstand unilateralism in international system,” Lambasted Iran President Hassan Rauhani at the 18th Summit of Heads of State and Governments of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Baku yesterday.
“I believe that the NAM blessed with a big population and vast area of land and territory can found a new pole of power in the multipolar world of future. The Islamic Republic of Iran like in the past would spare no efforts for the further success of the NAM and its sublime goals,” – Hassan Rauhani
Hassan Rauhani further said that Americans’ discontent has been provoked with the sacrifice of thousands of their youth and misappropriation of thousands of billions of dollars of public resources in unfruitful wars as well as the waste of hundreds of thousands of jobs and spread of inequalities and poverty as the result of the wave of the globalisation of economy. The drastic reduction in public confidence in the US political establishment, parties and ruling elite has finally resulted in the emergence of people in politics whose policies have marked the beginning of the end of US hegemony and unilateralism.
“This summit is convened under circumstances in which the world is rapidly transiting to multilateralism. In such complex period, violence and confrontation in various regions are on the rise. National sovereignty of independent countries are being violated in various forms. The US is employing oppressive economic tools in order to impose its illegitimate political goals on independent nations out of desperation in such outrageous and arrogant ways considered to be economic terrorism,” Added the President.
Appreciating the efforts towards breaking the unilateralism through non-aligned movement, Hassan Rauhani stated that the Non-Aligned Movement, as a set of countries representing more than two thirds of the UN member states, can be the pioneer on behalf of its members and the human society in finding solutions for the current global problems and within the framework of law abiding, fulfilment of international commitments, moderation and prevention of violence and extremism; Thanks to its valuable history and experience, NAM can play an effective role in securing the interests of its members proportionate with the requirements of the new world.
