The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Dr. Youssef A. Al-Othaimeen welcomed Algeria’s call to the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU) to hold a meeting of the Foreign Ministers of its member states in order to activate the Union’s structures and build this Maghreb edifice. The Secretary General stressed that the importance of this invitation lies in the fact that it comes after the initiative of His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco to establish a joint mechanism for dialogue and consultation with Algeria.
Al-Othaimeen stressed the importance of these positive steps by Algeria and Morocco to resolve differences and consolidate bilateral relations, underscoring the importance of the two countries, which are member states of the OIC, and their role in promoting Islamic solidarity and joint Islamic action.
