The Turkish President has said Muslim countries have agreed to work closely together to fight terrorism and other crimes.
The countries will also establish an Istanbul-based centre for greater police cooperation.
Leaders from the Muslim countries who make up the Organisation of
Islamic Cooperation attended a two-day summit, discussing issues facing
the Muslim world, including the humanitarian fall-out from Syria’s civil
war.
“It would be appropriate to create a structure among OIC countries
which would strengthen and institutionalize cooperation against terror
and other crimes,” Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in his opening
address at the summit.
“With this in mind, our proposal for the establishment of an OIC
police cooperation and coordination centre based in Istanbul found
acceptance.”
Key guests at the summit include Saudi King Salman and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
