Jeddah (IINA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has noted the completion of voting in the general elections in Myanmar and the landslide majority won by the National League for Democracy (NLD) under the leadership of Aung San Suu Kyi.
OIC Secretary General Iyad Ameen Madani conveyed a message to the chairperson of the NLD on the occasion of her party’s electoral victory, in which he expressed the hope that “the new government would actively support the process of reconciliation and transformation for all ethnic minorities in Myanmar, including the Rohingya”.
The Secretary General also noted that “the Rohingya have been denied their rights in the name of certain arbitrary laws” and he called for “an inclusive and constructive approach that would ensure their rightful recognition and status in light of the new democratic environment in Myanmar.”
The OIC reaffirms its commitment to support the people of Myanmar in the ongoing process of achieving a democratic society with equality and justice for all.
