"Egypt and Indonesia are two big countries playing an important role in constantly reviving the movement," Ahmed El Kewaisny said, as quoted by Antara news agency Tuesday.<>
He added that at a time when a number of countries taking extreme leftist or rightist positions, and even in the non-aligned movement, Indonesia and Egypt belonged to the group of neutral countries, referring to the spirit of the Asia Africa Conference in Bandung in 1955.
He said further that while there are many other regional or multilateral organizations in the non-aligned movement, it still has an important position especially serving the interest of the developing countries.
"It is still quite current (non-aligned movement), especially in facing the global financial crisis and a number of other problems," he said while explaining how the global crisis has affecting the economy of the developing countries.
