“A high ranking delegation headed by president Morales will attend the NAM meeting in Tehran,” Bolivia’s Ambassador to Tehran Jorge Rodolfo Miranda Luizaga said.

The envoy further pointed to the NAM meeting in the Iranian capital, and said, “NAM is very important to us, therefore, a high ranking delegation will accompany President Evo Morales in the Tehran summit.”
