ANKARA/ISTANBUL

The 51st session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will be held in Istanbul on June 21-22, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Friday.

Record-high level participation expected

With Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan hosting the important conference during a critical period when Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip and the conflict between Tel Aviv and Iran continue, all eyes of the world are once again on Türkiye.

The session will be held under the theme "The Organization of Islamic Cooperation in a Transforming World."

Türkiye, a founding member of the organization, has contributed to many activities within the OIC and has also hosted many events.

The event will be one of the most widely attended meetings in the history of the OIC.

The number of participants is expected to be around 1,000, with a record number of high-level participants compared to previous meetings.

Of the heads of delegations from the countries that will attend the meeting, 43 will be ministers and five will be deputy ministers.

Besides the representatives from OIC sub-organizations, the meeting will also feature high-level participation from 30 international organizations such as the UN, the Arab League, the Gulf Cooperation Council, Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation, the Economic Cooperation Organization, the Organization of Turkic States, the International Organization for Migration and the World Trade Organization.

The Extraordinary Ministerial Conference of the Arab League will also be held in Türkiye within the framework of the session, which will be followed by 200 local and foreign media members. It will be the first Arab League meeting to be held in Türkiye.
