The ordinary Islamic Summit is expected to be held in Makkah at the end of the holy month of Ramadan, reliable sources told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper.
Kings and heads of state from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will attend the summit except for Syria whose membership is suspended.
The summit, which the sources said would be held in the last ten days of Ramadan, is expected to discuss a series of key topics topped by the Palestinian cause.
The closing statement is also set to include several key points that serve the best interest of the Islamic countries while stressing the importance of OIC member states committing to reinforcing unity and solidarity.
Meanwhile, OIC Chief Yousef al-Othaimeen met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov, on the sidelines of the 5th World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue in Baku.
During the meeting, the preparatory works for the upcoming OIC Summit were discussed, in addition to the programs and activities of the organization.
This 14th summit would come three years after the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers held an urgent meeting to discuss the targeting of Makkah by a ballistic missile.
That urgent meeting resulted in 50 states, which attended the meeting, addressing the UN and demanding necessary international procedures, which guarantee that the aggression by coup militias does not happen again.
OIC is the second biggest international governmental organization after the UN with a membership of 57 states from four continents. It represents the Islamic world and seeks to protect its interests.
