An Iranian official said Monday that UN chief Ban Ki-moon has confirmed that he will be attending the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Tehran this month, Iran's state-funded Press TV reported. Mohammad-Reza Forqani, spokesman for the 16th NAM summit, was refuting Western reports about the UN chief's refusal to attend the summit. “Despite claims by certain Western media, Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon has finalized his plans for a trip to Tehran and participation in the Non-Aligned Movement summit,” Press TV quoted Forqani as saying. He said that a delegation of UN representatives will accompany the UN chief on his visit.

That's true. We'll have to wait and see what the official word is from the UN. So far I haven't even heard a denial coming out of the UN, so it might be true.
