OIC General Secretariat set the stage for the two day 47th session of 57-member OIC’s Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) meeting in Niger’s capital Niamey here from Nov 27-28. The OIC foreign ministers will also discuss, over two days, political, humanitarian, economic, socio-cultural and other issues related to science and technology, the media and the implementation progress of the OIC plan of action 2025. “The OIC took the Rohingya issue seriously… all the OIC members have been supporting us strongly over the issue in the United Nations,” Bangladesh foreign minister told BSS on Tuesday. However, in absence of the foreign minister, Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Dr. Mohammad Javed Patwary, who is also Bangladesh Permanent Representative to OIC will lead the Bangladesh delegation at CMF here tomorrow. Dr Momen said Gambia, an OIC member as well, volunteered to move to ICJ with the Rohingya issue and needed the financial support to fight the case.
