A Final Comment
Western media attempts to ignore, downplay, or demean the NAM summit may backfire. The event's significance may be enhanced. A Washington Post editorial called it an anti-American "festival of resistance," a "useless recreational club," and a "bacchanal of nonsense."

Iran's UN mission press office head Alireza Miryousefi responded , saying:
The Post editorial "unjustifiably smeared Iran and mocked the upcoming" NAM summit shamelessly. Doing so "ignore(s) the growing importance of the movement-- Most UN member states belong. Other key ones are observers.
"In light of its focus on multilateral cooperation, disarmament, sustainable world peace, rights of nations and horizontal relations defying hegemonic structures, the Non-Aligned Movement is a major cross-regional group in the United Nations"."
