KUALA LUMPUR (AP) - The Organization of the Islamic Conference must be revitalized to meet the challenges of globalization, Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said Saturday.

     

Malaysia, which will host the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers from Tuesday, wants the organization's secretariat to be restructured to better serve the needs of member countries, Syed Hamid was quoted as saying by the national news agency Bernama.

 

He said the perception of the OIC Secretariat as weak and ineffective had to be rectified.

 

Syed Hamid said the ICFM meeting would pass resolutions on the situations in Iraq, Kashmir and Chechnya. "The resolution on Chechnya will call for the OIC recognition of the sovereignty of Russia over the state of Chechnya but for the conflict there to be resolved through peaceful means," he said.

 

Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is scheduled to open the 27th session of the ICFM, which will be attended by 1,000 delegates from OIC member states. Malaysia is hosting the meeting for the second time.
