¡@¡@ KUALA LUMPUR, Sept. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- The 10th Organization of Islamic Conference
(OIC) summit here next month would discuss various resolutions aimed mainly
at rejuvenating the organization, a senior official said on Monday.
¡@¡@The resolutions on political, economic and social affairs, reflecting the
core principles of the 57-member OIC, would be presented to the heads of state
for adoption, Deputy Foreign Minister Leo Michael Toyad told the Lower House
here.
¡@¡@A brainstorming session would also be held during the OIC foreign
ministers' preparatory meeting on Oct. 13, he said when replying to a question
from Abu Bakar Othman, MP from a oppositionparty.
¡@¡@He said the session would discuss four key topics related to the
development of the Ummah (Islamic Community) -- restructuring of OIC,
rejuvenation of OIC, adoption of ICT and use of dinar in international trade.
¡@¡@Toyad said the government hoped that the summit would adopt the Putrajaya
Declaration of Knowledge, Morality, Unity and Dignity for the Progress of Ummah
to serve as a guide for the future direction of OIC.
¡@¡@The Malaysian government has allocated about 105 million ringgit (27.63
million US dollars) for organizing the summit, which will be held from Oct. 11
to 18.
¡@¡@It is the first time the OIC Summit is hosted by a Muslim country in the
Asia Pacific region.
¡@¡@OIC was established in Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco on
Sept. 25, 1969 to pool together the resources of Islamic countries in promoting
their interests and to consolidate their efforts to speak with a single united
voice in advancing the peace and security of the Muslim world. Enditem ¡@
