Larijani urges examining problems facing Muslims at PUIC summit

“Obviously, the major issues facing the Muslim world and regional challenges will be discussed at the meeting,” the senior Iranian lawmaker said on Monday prior to his visit to Kuwait and from there to Uganda.

Larijani said that Ali Akbar Nateq-Nouri will also attend the summit as a special guest.

“Since Nateq-Nouri was the Majlis speaker when the Parliamentary Union was established, so he will attend the meeting as a special guest,” he said.

Iranian delegation will also hold bilateral talks with parliament speakers of other countries on the sidelines of the summit, he added. 

On the objectives of his trip to Kuwait, Larijani said, “I am making a trip to Kuwait to meet the Kuwaiti parliament speaker with the aim of expanding bilateral ties in various political and economic areas.”

The sixth summit of Parliamentary Union of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) runs from January 24 to 31 in Uganda.

According to the New Vision, the conference is aimed at preserving the Islamic values, promoting solidarity among member states, upholding international peace and security in addition to advancing education, particularly in science and technology.
