 London, (IINA) - An OIC delegation concluded an intensive three day visit to the United Kingdom as part of ongoing OIC-UK bilateral talks on a number of regional and international issues of common concern.
The five member OIC delegation led by Ambassador Tarig Bakhit, director in the political affairs department, held extensive discussions with UK officials in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), the Department of International Development (DFID), and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
During the bilateral exchanges, topics covered a variety of issues related to political and economic affairs, science, technology and educational development as well as humanitarian aid, disaster relief and water resource management.
Discussions also took place on the human rights, combatting extremism and intolerance, Islamophobia, inter-faith dialogue and the conditions of Muslim communities and minorities in non-OIC member countries.
Both sides resolved to remain engaged and strengthen bilateral ties through regular exchanges. Such consultations between the OIC General Secretariat and the relevant departments of the British government provide useful opportunities for information sharing and improved coordination to facilitate more effective cooperation on issues of critical concern.
