OIC TO NAME PERMANENT REP TO AFGHANISTAN

DUBAI, July 21 (Bernama) -- The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC)
will soon appoint a permanent representative to war-torn Afghanistan.

This was conveyed by OIC secretary-general Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu
at the Kabul International Conference on Afghanistan on Tuesday.

In his statement, he said the organisation had always maintained a strong
position in supporting Afghanistan.

The OIC, he said, believed that a comprehensive strategy should be taken
forward by the Afghan leadership with the support of increased regional
cooperation and more effective international partnership towards peace and
security in the country.

Ihsanoglu further said that the organisation strongly supported President
Hamid Karzai's commitment to national reconciliation, good governance, rule of
law, anti-corruption efforts and strong regional cooperation.

The conference, which aimed to support a peaceful, stable and prosperous
Afghanistan, was attended by representatives of up to 70 partner countries,
international and regional organisations and financial institutions.
