President Rouhani also held talks with the Venezuelan, Cuban, Pakistani and Algerian presidents as well as Malaysian and Bangladeshi prime ministers on the sidelines of the 18th NAM Summit.
Formed in 1961, NAM is a grouping of 120 developing countries that do not want to align themselves with any major superpower. The movement provided an alternative for nations that did not back either the United States or Soviet Union during the Cold War. Seventeen states and 10 international organizations currently have observer status.
