Tehran: Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has invited Egypt's first
democratically elected president, Mohammed Morsi, to a summit of
Non-Aligned countries to be held in Tehran Aug 29.
It was not known if Morsi has accepted the invitation.
Ahmadinejad congratulated Morsi on his win in the presidential
elections last month.
He called it "an Islamic awakening in the region" and urged
stronger bilateral ties and friendship between the two nations,
Iranian state TV reported.
According to the Fars news agency, Morsi had said in an interview
before his presidential victory that he planned to expand
relations with Iran to "create a balance of pressure in the
region".
However, Morsi's spokesman subsequently denied the interview had
taken place.
Western powers have been trying to isolate Iran over its disputed
nuclear programme, which they suspect it is using to develop
nuclear weapons. Tehran claims it is solely for civilian nuclear
energy.
The Non-Aligned movement is a group of states considering
themselves not aligned formally with or against any major power
bloc. Till 2011, the movement had 120 members and 17 observer
countries.
