Tehran, Iran : Iran’s Foreign Minister says he has asked the Non-Aligned Movement to support Iran’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council.

Manouchehr Mottaki tells an expert meeting of the 114-member group to support Iran’s bid to have a seat on the Security Council that will meet in 2009 and 2010, the Associated Press reported.

He says Sunday that a vote is expected soon and Iran’s membership could create a positive development in the performance of the Security Council.
