Dr Nizr Obaid Madani, the Assistant Foreign Minister and Leader of the Saudi delegation to the 32nd session of the Islamic Foreign Ministers, currently in progress here, has highlighted the role of Jeddah-based Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) . In a statement to Sanaa-based 'Al-Thawra' newspaper, Dr Madani said activation of the role of the OIC and enhancing its influence at the international arena depend on the support being extended to the Organization by its member states. Slamming the activities of the deviant group, Dr Madani said such activities defame the Muslims and their civilization. 'Terrorism is an international phenomenon, and it is not confined to a certain land, race or religion', he said. Dr Madani urged the Muslim countries to work for issuance of an international resolution that prevents insulting Islam and Muslims. Meanwhile, Dr Madani hoped that the current meeting of the Islamic Foreign Ministers would formulate a new strategy for a joint Islamic work and a contemporary vision for the role of the OIC, as well as for preparing the Muslim nation to confront the challenges of the 21st century.
