Havana, Sep 15 (IANS) Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in his first bilateral meeting here on the sidelines of the NAM summit.
The details of the meeting were not immediately known. The meeting was held at the International Convention Center shortly before the inauguration of the 14th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
Speaking to accompanying Indian media persons when he flew into Havana Thursday evening, Manmohan Singh reiterated that since Iran is a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT), it "must have all the rights that go with being a member of the NPT and it must also fulfil all obligations.
"And if there are doubts about Iran's nuclear programme those doubts should be resolved through dialogue, through discussion rather than exercise of coercive action."
