President Dr Mohamed Muizzu departed for Qatar last night to take part in the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit, scheduled for 15 September in Doha.
The gathering has been convened in response to the Israeli attack of 9 September and will bring together leaders of Member States of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). President Muizzu is expected to deliver a statement at the summit.
According to the President’s Office, his participation underscores the Maldives’ solidarity with Qatar and its continuing support for the Palestinian cause. The Maldives has consistently voiced its call for urgent and collective international action to halt the violence and atrocities committed in the region.
The Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit is viewed as an important platform for the Muslim world to express a united position in demanding an end to the ongoing conflict and to press for concrete measures that will ensure peace and security.
