Skopje. Macedonian state delegation takes part in the summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), held in Egypt, the media announce Thursday.
This is country’s first participation in a meeting of the organization, which comes as a result to Macedonia’s multilateralism policy.
The summit ends up on July 16.
The other countries from the region, which take part in the event, include Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The best thing about this is that the government is preparing in case we cannot be let in NATO and EU, meaning we are not prepared to sell our soul

I would prefer Macedonia being with the same Non Military status as the Schweitz.

But that is not possible. Schwietz is the European bank

Not bad at all, we should not aim for NATO or any other organization that is experimenting with our Constitutional name.

Macedonia is a real heaven for big corporations, the lowest tax-system in Europe ensures great profits for big or even small corporations wanting to establish themselves in Europe instead of in China or India.

This opportunity should be promoted by the Government everywhere they go.

Greece knows this that is why so many Greek corporations have established themselves in Macedonia.

Macedonia is returning to the Non-Aligned Movement silently and with cautious steps, Macedonian Dnevnik daily writes.
A Macedonian foreign ministry official participated in the ministerial meeting of the Movement in Havana between April 27th and 30th. The newspaper comments that the Macedonian foreign ministry has not announced the participation so far.
“For the first time we attend the meeting of the Movement as a guest. We should have a more active foreign policy,” said an anonymous foreign ministry source.
Macedonia was part of the Non-Aligned Movement when it was within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Dnevnik says.

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is an international organization of states considering themselves not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. The movement is largely the brainchild of the first Gamal Abdul Nasser, former president of Egypt, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito. It was founded in April 1955; as of 2007, it has 118 members. The purpose of the organization as stated in the Havana Declaration of 1979 is to ensure "the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries" in their "struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, and all forms of foreign aggression, occupation, domination, interference or hegemony as well as against great power and bloc politics."[1] They represent nearly two-thirds of the United Nations's members and comprise 55 percent of the world population, particularly countries considered to be developing or part of the third world.

Hmmm, not sure why or where this is going. But the purpose of the movement is fine by me.
