The statement said that Secretary General reiterated the OIC’s support to the Afghan people in achieving a “comprehensive and lasting national reconciliation, stability and development.”

To reach a long-term peace and stability in Afghanistan and beyond, the organization said, “the decision and resolutions of the OIC Summit and the council of Foreign Ministers have called upon OIC Member States to support the Afghan-led and Afghan-owned inclusive peace and reconciliation process.”
