Speaking to Congolese President’s special envoy to NAM Summit, President Ahmadinejad said since they consider empowerment of independent states as an obstacle on the way of continued plunder of other countries’ wealth, the colonial powers throw impediments on the way of progress of independent states.

He said security and peace are prelude to development and progress.

“Despite hegemonic powers’ attempt to prevent progress of independent states, the NAM potentials and wisdom of the officials of the member states as well as cooperation among their people should be used for security and peace.”

The DR Congo envoy for his part said his country is ready to offer any kind of help to Iran to materialize NAM goals.
