OIC Chief highlights importance of Turkey-Africa Cooperation
SPA - Ihsanoglu said the OIC has identified food and agriculture sectoras one of its top priority areas for collective action and has set a number of objectives and established programmes of action with a view to ensuring food security for the populations of our countries.
Food security will not be attained without developing the agricultural sector. As we, and the countries of the world, are actively seeking adequate solutions to the food security crisis, we know that the solutions are not easy to find. Nevertheless, we know that this goal is unquestionably attainable, and the one to which theOIC is deeply committed.
In response to the generous invitation by Mali, an OIC Forum on ways and means of energizing trade and investment in food industry in Africa will be held in Mali in November 2008. We have also identified the food crisis as the interactive discussion theme of this year’s OIC Foreign Ministers Coordination Meeting to be held in New York on26 September," he added.
