The Foreign Ministry has ordered Israeli embassies to encourage their host countries to not attend or only send low-level representatives to the next summit of Non-Aligned Movement countries, to take place in Iran on Aug 26-31, Maariv reported on Thursday. Tehran is hoping to bring together the 120 countries belonging to the NAM for the summit, which takes place once every three years. Israel, which is leading efforts to push for Iran’s isolation in the international arena, intends to focus its boycotting efforts on major African, Asian and South American countries, especially India and China. On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said that all members of the NAM have indicated they will attend the meeting. The Tehran Times reported on Thursday that the Iranian vice president for executive affairs will travel as a special envoy to Egypt to personally invite Egyptian Pres Morsi to attend the summit. According to documents obtained by Western diplomatic sources, at the summit Iran intends to press for a resolution that would recognize the right of developing countries to pursue nuclear power and to enrich uranium.

Morsi to skip NAM conference in Tehran, reports Al-Hayat
Yoel Goldman, Gabe Fisher, Times of Israel, Aug 3 2012

London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Hayat reported on Saturday that Egyptian Pres Morsi will not attend this month’s NAM summit in Iran. A source close to the president’s office said Morsi will send newly-appointed Prime Minister Hesham Kandil or Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr to represent him at the meeting. The decision to keep Morsi away from the summit and Iran’s leaders, according to the source, was due to pressure exerted on the president in light of the Islamic Republic’s policy of supporting the Assad regime in Syria. It was unclear from the report who exactly was exerting pressure on the Egyptian president. The Tehran Times reported on Thursday that the Iranian vice president for executive affairs would travel as a special envoy to Egypt to personally invite Morsi to attend the summit. Israel’s Foreign Ministry directed Israeli embassies to encourage their host countries not to attend or only send low-level representatives to the meeting. The NAM was formed in 1961 as a platform for third-world and developing countries who did not want to be beholden to the major Cold War powers, the US and the USSR. It currently has 120 member states and 21 states with observer status, encompassing nearly all African, South American and Asian countries.
