Malaysia, OIC agree to promote moderation in Islam

 

The matter was among the issues discussed between Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman and OIC secretary-general Tan Sri Iyad Amen Madani, who called on the former here today. 

 

The meeting was part of Madani's three-day working visit to Malaysia beginning Tuesday, his first to the country since assuming the post in January 2014. 

 

According to a Wisma Putra statement, Anifah and Madani, who was accompanied by his delegation, also had a fruitful discussion on the strategic cooperation between Malaysia and the OIC, and the challenges faced by the Muslim ummah. It added that the visit demonstrated Malaysia's continued commitment to playing an active role in the OIC, by strengthening Islamic solidarity among member states through several initiatives and programmes in various sectors. -- BERNAMA
