Saudi Arabia maintains key role in OIC, backs unified stance on Palestine
The issue of occupied Palestinian territories topped the OIC foreign ministers' agenda, as Saudi Arabia continued its pivotal support, a political analyst said.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) foreign ministers' agenda was dominated by the issue of the occupied Palestinian territories, according to political analyst Dr. Furat Al-Bassam. Saudi Arabia maintained its crucial role in the organization, reinforcing unity on the Palestinian cause, the analyst told Al Ekhbariya TV.
Saudi Arabia remains a central force in backing the OIC and promoting a unified stance on Palestine, Al-Bassam emphasized, as the kingdom's diplomatic efforts have orchestrated extensive campaigns to garner global support for an independent Palestinian state. The analyst noted that Saudi Arabia initiated the formation of the OIC during peak tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, underscoring the kingdom's lasting bond with the organization and the Palestinian issue.
The selection of Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed as the OIC's new Secretary-General was highlighted by Al-Bassam, who described him as a "deeply committed Arab and Islamic figure" with over three decades of diplomatic experience, deserving of the role he assumed.
