OIC Chief urges peaceful co-existence, global peace and security 5 Tehran

Ihsanoglu said "Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen

Within its new vision and mission contained in the Ten Year Program
of Action adopted by the Extraordinary Summit in December 2005 in
Makkah, and the new Charter adopted in the 11th Summit in Dakar in
March 2008, the OIC will continue to devote its resources and efforts
to counter the vicious campaign against Islam. We are currently
leading a massive effort to disseminate messages of modernization and
moderation in the Muslim World as well as dialogue with other faiths,
cultures and civilizations as means of enhancing peaceful
co-existence and reinforcing the foundations of global peace and
security.

Finally, I would like to express the determination of the OIC to
promote and strengthen its cooperation with the Non- Aligned Movement
and work together in order to confront common challenges and create
an environment favorable for global peace, security, social welfare
and economic development.

I wish your deliberations every success in evolving specific
recommendations which will contribute to making our world more safe,
just, fair and prosperous place for the betterment of humanity."
