Al-Othaimeen, the OIC's Secretary-General indicated that Kazakhstan is an active OIC's member, expressing his appreciation for its adherence to the OIC's principles and its positive contributions to joint Islamic action. Al-Othaimeen referred to Kazakhstan's hosting of the First Islamic Summit on Science and Technology in September 2017, its launch of the Islamic Convergence Initiative in 2016, and its hosting of the Permanent Headquarters of the Food Security Organization (the specialized organization established in 2016).
