Touhid leaves for Saudi Arabia to attend OIC meeting

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain left for Saudi Arabia on Thursday to join a special session of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Jeddah.

The session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers will be held on Friday, said an official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The session is expected to discuss the progress of the ceasefire in Gaza, as well as address concerns over the proposed annexation of Gaza that would result in the forced resettlement of the Palestinian people from their homeland.

Touhid is scheduled to return to Dhaka on Saturday.
