The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), His Excellency Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen, stressed that existing coordination between affiliate institutions gives the momentum needed to progress towards the objectives of the OIC-2025 Programme of Action, adopted at the 13th Islamic Summit in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2016.
Speaking at the third annual coordination meeting of OIC institutions, convened at the Jeddah-based Islamic Development Bank, on 3-4 December 2017, the Secretary General described the previous ACMOI meeting as substantially successful. He pointed out, “the combined effort of OIC institutions was essential to the fruitful conclusion of the 44th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers, held in the Ivorian capital of Abidjan, and the OIC First Islamic S&T Summit in Astana.”
Further, the Secretary General said he is confident the new ACMOI activity matrix, approved by the CFM in its latest session, will be instrumental in serving the interests of the Member States.
