OIC Chief highlights importance of Turkey-Africa Cooperation
SPA - Ihsanoglu said "The Ten Year Program of Action adopted by the leaders of the OIC member states at the Extraordinary Makkah Summit in December 2005 and the new Charter of our Organization adopted at the last OIC Summit in Dakar in March 2008 provide the main guidelines for the transformation and new direction of the OIC.
These two documents clearly define socio-economic development as the main remedy in facing the challenges of the 21st Century.
"Moreover, there has been an absolute consensus and common understanding on the necessity of paying special attention to theissues of Africa.
The economic partnership that our Ten Year Program envisages is articulated in clusters such as increasing intra-OIC trade, eradicating poverty, eliminating pandemic disease and increasing economic assistance to the Least Developed Countries, particularly to African member states and naturally requires collaborative efforts of the OIC institutions, governments, international and regionalorganizations, private sector and civil society," he added.
