In the document about Iran's nuclear issue, participating delegates voiced their support for the country's peaceful nuclear programme.

They have also referred to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as the only legitimate source to study nuclear activities of its member states.

The two-day meeting which started on Tuesday with a speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ended its work yesterday with a speech by Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.

In his address to the meeting's closing session, Mottaki appreciated NAM member states' support for Tehran's peaceful nuclear activities.
