President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made the remark in a meeting with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on the sidelines of 67th UN General Assembly annual meeting on Sunday.

Pointing to the fact that what proposed in Tehran NAM summit was the concern of the nations, Dr. Ahmadinejad stated that reforms of the structure of the UN can be realized through close and constant cooperation of Non-Aligned Movement and the UN.

Emphasizing on the necessity of enhancing relationships and cooperation between Non-Aligned Movement and the United Nations concerning reformation of inefficient structure of global management, the president expressed: “Effective steps should be taken for reforming the structure of UN in order to install a fair and democratic framework at the UN so that UN General Assembly and UN Secretary General will be enabled to fulfill their missions.

On Syria crisis, president referred to putting forth the Syria issue in the 16th NAM summit in Tehran and said: "clashes in Syria must be stopped as soon as possible, and two sides should restore the negotiations based on justice of the involved parties in Syria."

Dr. Ahmadinejad considered the proposal on setting up a contact group for Syria crisis – posed in Tehran NAM summit- as positive and specified: "It is our attempt to have other states joined the proposal of the Egyptian president, and I hope Mr. Al Akhdar Al Ebrahimi collaborate with this group to play in Syria issue actively and effectively."

Referring to the fact that continuing the status quo in Iran’s nuclear issue does not benefit anyone, President Ahmadinejad said that removing the ambiguities in this regard will surely help to resolving the current stalemate in Iran’s nuclear talks and will help the negotiating sides to more easily achieve results.

Contributions to resolve the misunderstandings would be more effective in this connection, and the questions and concerns of the parties would reach the answers more easily based on mutual co operations for sure."

Commenting on the Zionist regime’s threats against Iran, he pointed out that IR Iran does not believe that the threats should be responded with threats, but these threats should be condemned.

"Islamic Republic of Iran is fully ready to defend itself. The situation which allows the Zionist regime to threat other nations repeatedly should be reformed", he explained.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for his part hailed Iran for successful holding of the NAM Summit in August in Tehran.

“My meeting with the (Supreme) Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei) was a memorable one,” he noted.

UN Chief termed Iran as few countries that play a crucial role in resolving the Syrian crises.

He noted that the UN special envoy in Syria affairs, Lakhdar Brahimi is willing to cooperate with Iran on forming a contact group for resolving the Syrian crisis.

Ban called on Iran to support Brahimi in fulfilling his mission in Syria.
