UNB, Dhaka :
OIC Secretary General Iyad Ameen Madani on Sunday pledged all-out efforts for further enhancing the existing
cooperation between Bangladesh and OIC in various fields.
Madani, who is on an official visit to Bangladesh, made the pledge during his meeting with Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali at the latter’s office.
The minister expressed the hope that the Secretary General would play a proactive role in addressing the developmental and environmental challenges of the member states of OIC and that OIC should evolve into an effective
mouthpiece for articulating the concerns of the member states and stronger voice on such issues in various global fora, according to Foreign Ministry here.
He referred to the historic decision of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to join the Organisation and reaffirmed Bangladesh’s commitment to the fundamental principles of the OIC both in pursuing political solidarity of Muslim Ummah and promoting cooperation among member states in economic, social, cultural, educational and other vital fields of activities.
During the meeting, the OIC Secretary General paid tribute to Bangladesh for her constructive role in OIC endeavours for peace and development in the Muslim world. He particularly appreciated Bangladesh’s consistent support for the cause of Palestine that lies at the core of OIC agenda.
