Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has held separate meetings with the newly-appointed secretary-general of the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States and the outgoing Secretary General of the Economic Cooperation Organization.
The PUIC was established in 1999, with its headquarters located in Tehran.
The PUIC aims to provide a framework for comprehensive cooperation and coordination among the parliaments of the Organization Islamic Cooperation countries by exchanging views on economic, social and political issues of interest to member states.
Earlier in the day, Zarif also met Halil İbrahim Akça, the outgoing secretary-general of the ECO who was leaving Tehran at the end of his mission.
She previously served as Pakistan’s envoy to Norway, and is expected to help improve Tehran-Islamabad ties during her mission, particularly following the imminent election of Imran Khan as the Pakistani Prime Minister.
