Ihsanoglu took the opportunity to remind President Obama of the bold initiative he undertook in his first term of engaging with the outside world, in particular with the Muslim world, which aroused great hopes and expectations of an evenhanded policy of the U.S. in addressing the outstanding issues in the Middle East region and in combating and countering the forces of intolerance and prejudice that seek to create divisions. The Secretary General expressed his joy that the OIC was able to build up a relationship with the U.S. of trust, confidence and cooperation and that the OIC looks forward to strengthening this relationship in substance in the coming years. Ihsanoglu assured President Obama of OIC's commitment to work with him and his government in close cooperation to bring peace, progress and harmony to people.
