ISTANBUL

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Friday deplored what it called Iran’s “interference” in the internal affairs of regional and member states including Bahrain, Yemen, Syria and Somalia and its “continued support for terrorism”.

“The Conference deplored Iran’s interference in the internal affairs of the States of the region and other Member States including Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, and Somalia, and its continued support for terrorism,” the OIC said in its final summit communique.

It also stressed the need of “cooperative relations between member countries and Iran” that would be based on “the principle of good-neighborliness, non-interference in their domestic affairs, respect for their independence and territorial sovereignty”.

Leaders from 57 Muslim nations attended a 13th summit of OIC in Istanbul to discuss a range of issues such as the humanitarian fall-out from Syria’s civil war. WEB DESK
