Iran's Ahmadinejad invites Obama to debate at UN

"Our proposal (to President Obama) is to sit at the UN and debate about the origin of the global problems and each side put forward its solutions," Ahmadinejad said in a press conference here on Monday. "If I am elected by the great Iranian nation (as president in the upcoming presidential elections), I will repeat my invitation to Mr. Obama to have a debate in the UN to study the origin of the global issues and the management of the world for international peace," he stressed. Earlier, Ahmadinejad had invited U.S. ex-president George W. Bush to participate in a live debate with him in the United Nations over global diversified issues, but Bush did not give response to his invitation; Kazinform cites Xinhua.
