The NAM statement in support of the Islamic Republic’s peaceful nuclear program was delivered at the IAEA Board of Governors Meeting in March by Iran's Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Reza Najafi.
According to the statement, NAM has welcomed and backed Iran’s practical measures in the IAEA Framework for Cooperation as well as the continued cooperation between Iran and the IAEA as was stated in the last report issued by the Director General Yukiya Amano.
NAM has also considered diplomacy and negotiations as the only methods that could lead to a comprehensive and permanent solution to Iran’s nuclear issue, encouraging all IAEA member countries to make positive contribution in this context.
NAM, once again, highlighted the primary and undeniable right of all nations to develop, research, produce and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, and announced its opposition to any interpretation that would lead to banning or restriction of countries’ rights in developing nuclear energy.
While asserting Iran’s decisions in the peaceful use of nuclear technology must be respected, NAM stressed there must be no pressure or inappropriate interference in the IAEA’s activities that would threaten the performance and reputation of the Agency.
