President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said yesterday that he would outline Iran's nuclear activities in the UN General Assembly meeting during his visit to New York, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Ahmadinejad made the remark prior to his departure for New York on Sunday.

He also told reporters that the UN should be a real representative of all nations and not a servant to certain powers, lobbies or parties.

"All UN bodies should be run based on democratic principles," he said, adding that the international body "should be located in an independent land so that it would be possible for every parties to express their views freely."

According to IRNA, Ahmadinejad is scheduled to address the UN meeting and also meet the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting, Ahmadinejad is also to hold separate talks with different heads of state attending the UN meeting and will participate in several regional meetings.

Ahmadinejad left Tehran on Sunday for New York to attend the 63rd meeting of UN General Assembly which is scheduled to open on Sept. 23.

The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said last Monday in a report Iran has shown a lack of cooperative sincerity with the international community in solving its nuclear issues, calling on the country to cooperate in this regard.

According to the report, due to Tehran's blocking, the UN nuclear watchdog had been unable to make much progress in investigating Iran's suspect nuclear program.

Representatives from the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany discussed last Friday over possible new sanctions against Iran as Tehran refuses to comply with United Nations resolutions.

The United States and its allies have accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons, but Iran insists that its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes.

Ahmadinejad shrugged off international sanctions threat last Thursday. "Whatever they do, Iran will continue its activities. Sanctions are not important," he told a news conference. "The era of such threats has ended."

Iran till now has been under three UN sanctions over its disputed nuclear program.
