TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi said the Islamic republic will present an "acceptable and rational" proposal on Syria crisis at the upcoming Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Tehran, Press TV reported Friday.
Iran will present a proposal to resolve the ongoing crisis in Syria during the next week's NAM summit, Salehi was quoted as saying.
"We believe that the proposal is acceptable, rational and principled and will include all parties involved in Syrian issues, " said Salehi, adding that "it will be very difficult to oppose it. "
He noted that Iran has been in close contact with many countries as well as the Syrian opposition over the past year since the outset of the crisis in Syria, emphasizing that the ground should be prepared for an understanding between the Syrian government and opposition.
Salehi also pointed to Iran's proposal to host talks between the Syrian government and opposition in a bid to end the violence in the Arab nation and expressed hope that Tehran would host the talks after the NAM summit.
He said most of the opposition have expressed their readiness to attend such talks, according to the report.
Salehi reaffirmed the Islamic republic's "principled support" for Syria, saying that Damascus is an important ring in the chain of resistance against Israel.
The NAM summit will be held on August 30 and August 31 in Tehran.
