XVI th NAM summit was recently concluded in Tehran chaired by Iranian president Mohammad Ahmedinijad. The summit attracted most of the existing countries along with Saudi Arabia and other gulf nations. Recently elected Egyptian presided Mohammad Morsi added extra significance to the summit. Above all the summit attracted UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon despite pressures from western world an Israel.
It was presumed by the western world that NAM summit would turn into chaos over Syrian issue as Iran happens to be the supporter of Asad led reign in Syria. But the summit ended virtuous for Iran which is facing serious bans owing to its nuclear prejudices. Not only Iran gained significance in the present political scenario but also it would help in easing out sanctions.
India, being a legitimate power among the NAM nations once again showed its diplomacy skills. Its stand on the Syrian issue was firm and affirmative. It asserted that peace and stability in Syria should not be governed by external factors, rather its their internal issue, so Syrian people have the ultimate right in deciding a fair and just government. This stand by India was a complete turnaround from previous decision during july 2012 when it had supported united nations resolution for issuing bans over Syria.
Over the Iran issue, India was ready to continue it trade relations with Iran and various economic developments. Iran recommitted to fecilitating the Chabhar route for India-Afgan trade.
All these stands by India have confirmed that New Delhi is not a puppets in the hands of western world and it presence in the world is acceptable.
