OIC Secretary-General Calls for Cooperation to Alleviate Poverty in Least Developed Countries
The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hissein Brahim Taha, has called on member states to work more closely and exchange experiences to help alleviate poverty, especially in the least developed countries.
Taha made this request during a recent meeting of the OIC’s Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation in Ankara, which focused on several issues, including the implementation status of several COMCEC projects in trade, investment, agriculture, tourism, financial development, and poverty alleviation.
The meeting also approved the draft agenda for the 39th session of the COMCEC General Assembly in Istanbul, where the OIC will work on accelerating efforts to alleviate poverty.
