World leaders at the summitOn 30 August the summit inaugurated by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Then Egypt President, Mohammad Morsi, as the chair of the 15th summit declared opening of the 16th summit and presented the report of NAM's chairmanship during the past three years. Then officially handed the presidency of the Non-Aligned Movement to Iran President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. After Morsi, President of the Sixty-sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, Secretary-General Ban Ki Mon, Chair of the Group of 77 Mourad Benmehidi, host President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh delivered their opening speeches.[68] He also later said the members of NAM have more of a right to solve the Syrian crisis than does the UN or western countries.[69]
Inaugurating the summit, Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei condemned the use of nuclear and chemical weapons as an "unforgivable sin", and called for "Middle East Free from Nuclear Weapons".[70] Khamanei argued that it was ironic for the US to oppose nuclear proliferation while, according to Khamanei, it possessed the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons and had used them in the past. He also accused the US and its Western allies of providing Israel with nuclear weapons.[71] He criticized the UN Security Council as "unjust" and "undemocratic" and accused the US of abusing it.[72] Other Iranian officials stated that the Security Council had more power than the General Assembly and criticized the veto rights of its permanent members.[73] Khamenei accused the United States of protecting the interests of the Western countries in the name of "human rights", interfering militarily in other countries in the name of "democracy", and targeting civilians in the name of "combating terrorism". A day after U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon asked Khamenei to lower his rhetoric on Israel,[72] Khamanei accused Israel of assassinations, waging wars, killing people and occupying Arab territories. He referred to the Palestinians as "people who have stood up to fight for their rights." Khamenei also proposed impoving the "political productivity" of the Non-Aligned Movement in global governance and called for a "historic document", an active secretariat, and administrative tools to achieve this. He also called for economic cooperation and for cultural relationships between NAM members.[74][75][76][77][78][79][80]
Following Khamenei's remarks, the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, who was described as visibly irritated,[81] denounced Iran's position towards Israel in his opening speech. He said it was "utterly wrong" to describe Israel in "racist terms" or to deny its right to exist. He further called Holocaust denial "outrageous".[80][82][83] Ki-Moon called on both Iran and Israel to stop making threats against the other.[80] While describing Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency as "constructive and useful,"[84] Ban Ki-Moon demanded that Iran boost global confidence in its nuclear program by "fully complying with the relevant (UN) Security Council resolutions and thoroughly cooperating with the IAEA."[81]
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi denounced the Syrian government, an ally of Iran, calling it "oppressive" and said that it was an "ethical duty" to support the Syrian revolt against the Bashar al-Assad government.[85] Walid al-Moallem, Syrian foreign minister, walked out in protest, although Mahmoud Ahmadinejad remained seated beside Morsi.[86] Morsi called for a peaceful transition to freedom and democracy in Syria.[87] Like Iran, Morsi also called for reform in the structure of the UN Security Council.[86] Morsi echoed Iranian calls for a nuclear-free Middle East,[86] and criticized Israel for refusing to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty.[88] Morsi and Iran also both supported the Palestinian bid for a seat at the UN.[86][89] At the summit Egypt's Mohammed Morsi also handed over the leadership of the body to Iran for the next three years.[90]
Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, called for a peaceful resolution of the crisis in Syria and pledged support for the Palestinian movement. He also called for reform in the UN Security Council, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.[91] The summit also drew up a draft resolution on ending the Syrian conflict.[92]
