Tehran, 2008 July 29, IRIB

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Tuesday that the current world order is no longer valid and should undergo dramatic change.

Mottaki made the remarks in his address to the 15th NAM foreign ministers meeting which opened this morning.

"The current world order is unfair and therefore should be corrected."

The world challenges and problems are in need of international consensus, he said underlining the need for "global partnership" to solve the existing problems.

The Foreign Minister further called for "refraining from unilateralism in order to help settle global crises".

Grounds have been prepared for accepting a dramatic change in the world order, he said stressing, "Access to peace and justice is only possible through partnership of all nations."

The 118 member states, 15 observer members, and eight international and regional organizations are attending the two-day NAM foreign ministers meeting.
