In an interview with Imam Khomeini International Portal, Hassan Ghashghavi, the former spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs and minister's specular assistant defined Imam's notions in promoting the NAM summit.
He declared: "The Islamic Republic which gained victory by Imam Khomeini's viewpoints awakened the hope of independency and release from the arrogant."
Ghashghavi also noted: "Since 1955 and the years before the Islamic revolution during the cold war between the east and west blocs, Imam Khomeini's notions were welcomed by many countries and it's results were in the NAM formation."
Iran's former ambassador to Sweden and Kazakhstan said: "Although this movement was not as perfect as it was described by Imam and the Islamic revolution but the general policy of the revolution was in harmony with the NAM summit."
Ghashghavi declared: "Because of this reason before the Islamic revolution, Iran was not a member of the NAM, the former regime was a member of the CENTO military commission but a month after the victory of the revolution, Iran requested to join the NAM and the reason was the similarity between NAM and Imam's recommendations."
Pointing on Imam's recommendations, about the issuance of the revolution, he tried to explain the ways to benefit Imam's way to execute the NAM summit and said: "Most of the countries became familiar with Imam's notions and know Imam's revolutionary goals and this conference is a chance to follow up Imam' diplomacy. We all should use Imam's diplomacy."
