Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday congratulated the nation on the successful holding of the 48th session of Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on March 22-23 in Islamabad and said Pakistan, as the new chair of the OIC-CFM, would strengthen the voice of the Muslim world at the global platform.
“As CFM Chair, Pakistan will promote partnerships for unity, justice, and development to strengthen the voice of the Ummah globally,” he said in a tweet.
He mentioned that the session, which was joined by the foreign ministers of the 57-member Islamic body, agreed on strengthening joint efforts for the unity of the Islamic world and addressing the challenges including Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis, and Islamophobia.
“Unity of Ummah reflected in agreement over a broad range of actions on advancing just causes of Kashmir and Palestine, Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis, combating Islamophobia and plight of Muslims,” the tweet read.
In a speech delivered at the opening session of the two-day conference, PM Imran had regretted that the OIC had failed in making an impact on the burning issues of Palestine and Kashmir despite representing 1.5 billion people.
“We have failed both Palestinians and Kashmiris. I am sad that we have not been able to make an impact despite being the massive voice of 1.5 billion people,” the prime minister had said in the presence of the foreign ministers.
