Foreign Adviser speaks with Pak FM ahead of OIC Somalia meet
Foreign Affairs Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain spoke with Pakistani Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, ahead of a Minister-level meeting of the OIC.
The two counterparts reviewed bilateral matters and discussed recent regional developments.
They also appreciated the timely convening of the extraordinary session of the OIC CFM.
The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has announced that an extraordinary meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers will be held on Saturday at the OIC General Secretariat headquarters in Jeddah, to discuss the rapidly evolving and dangerous developments in the Federal Republic of Somalia.
The meeting comes against the backdrop of recent developments, namely Israel's declaration – the occupying power – of its recognition of the so-called "Somaliland" region as an independent state, a move that is considered an infringement on Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The meeting aims to formulate a unified Islamic position regarding these developments, and to reaffirm unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, in accordance with international conventions and relevant resolutions of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, reports UNB.
