based organization: "H.E President Ahmadinejad, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is a great honor and privilege for me to address the XV (15th Non Aligned Movement Ministerial Meeting, convened in Tehran. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Islamic Republic of Iran for the excellent arrangements for this conference as well as the warm hospitality accorded to all delegations, which is a testimony of the dedication of the people and the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the ideals of the Non-Aligned Movement. The high level participation of the Organization of the Islamic Conference is a reflection of the close cooperation and collaboration that exist between the Non- Aligned Movement and the OIC. In fact, 51 of the 57 Member countries of the OIC are also Non Aligned Movement Members. This in itself is a strong bond that unites our two organizations. I am confident that our cooperation will continue to expand in all fields, with the shared objective of promotion of international peace and security and the economic and social development of our people. --MORE
