Ahmadinejad to take proposals to NYC

A senior Iranian presidential advisor says Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will present the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference with “important proposals.”

“The president will have important proposals for the revision of the NPT treaty as well as the performance of certain governments in this regard,” Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi told reporters on Saturday.

“The president will raise points about the performance of nuclear and non-nuclear states.”

He added that President Ahmadinejad’s visit to New York City would take place “with the purpose of defending the rights of the Iranian nation.”

The senior aide stressed that the president would “clearly” announce the views of the Iranian nation to the world.
