According to Iran's state news agency IRNA, Ahmadinejad told Morsi that Tehran is not placing any restrictions on expanding bilateral ties which had been cut off in 1979 following the Egypt- Israel peace treaty.

Morsi, on his part, accepted the invitation and stressed that the Non-Aligned Movement is protecting the interests of Islamic and other developing states. Iran will receive the rotating presidency of the movement from Egypt for three years during the Tehran summit. In the past, Abbas accused Iran of impeding reconciliation efforts between Fatah and Hamas several times while Ahmadinejad slammed him for his lack of mandate to negotiate on behalf of the Palestinians. Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad is urging Arab countries to keep their promises and send tens of millions of dollars to his cash-strapped government. « Last Edit: Today at 4:38am byMichael James Stone » Report to Mod - Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged
