UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed that it was imperative that the OIC and UN join forces and devise a common strategy to meet current challenges facing the world.
“We must reform the morally bankrupt global financing system,” he said in his video message during the OIC conference taking place in Islamabad.
“Through joint efforts we can confront the challenges for a safer world,” the UN secretary-general added.
He said that the United Nations and OIC enjoy decades-old relationships based on the shared belief on the values of multilateral cooperation, dialogue and solidarity.
He said our two organisations have worked together to nurture a culture of peace and understanding.
The UN secretary general said in recent years, UN has cooperated with OIC in key areas including mediation, counter-terrorism, preventing violent extremism, combating anti-Muslim hatred and promoting religious tolerance.
