Iran is gearing up to host the 16th Non Aligned Movement Summit. Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told that top leaders from 30 countries including India , Egypt and Cuba will be attending the summit and more than 100 out of the 120 nation bloc have confirmed their participation. Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Egypt President Mohammad Morsi and Cuban President Raul Castro are among the world leaders who will be there at the summit.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has also confirmed his participation despite the protests by US and Israel. Experts say, the NAM Summit is an important opportunity for Iran to portray itself as part of the international scene despite the efforts by the western nations to isolate it diplomatically and economically. Around 7000 participants including the delegates and media are expected for the summit.
In the run up to the event, a five-day public holiday has been declared in Teheran to clear the stifling( दमघोंटू) traffic and pollution. Visa-free entry to Iran normally offered to nationals from Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Ecuador, Georgia, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Turkey, Syria and Venezuela has been temporarily suspended. Hospital staff have had their vacations suspended.
Parts of the capital have been beautified, with lamp posts and road markings freshly painted. For Security reasons all the roads leading to the summit venue have been blocked except for the official vehicles.
