Malaysian PM appeals for unity of Muslim nation in new era
+ - 18:38, September 25, 2009
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Zarak Friday appealed to Muslim societies throughout the world to renew their pledge and act together as an organization of Muslim nations.
According to a press release from Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Najib made the remarks on the 40th Anniversary of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC).
He said that the world has changed vastly and many new challenges have emerged. Therefore, he added that the organization must move with the times and be aware of the new challenges in the post Sept. 11 era not only in the political and security areas but also in the economic and social sphere.
He said that OIC must play the role of catalyst and provider for the economic and social development among the least developed members
For Muslim nations, he urged all OIC members to work together, maximize the use of their combined resources for the collective good and benefit of the Ummah. Besides, joint and concerted efforts are needed to remove the shackles of poverty still afflicting millions of Muslims around the world, he added.
"It is for us to shape our own destiny and therefore we must aim to grow through self-reliance," he said.
Najib said that as a founding member of the OIC, Malaysia will continue to work with the organization in promoting peace and security in the world, especially on issues that affect the Muslims.
Malaysia will continue to support and extend its cooperation to Muslim Ummah to attain the dream of Malaysian's fore-fathers in ensuring that Muslims throughout the world become a better and united Ummah, he noted.
Malaysia views OIC not only a platform for cooperation among the Ummah but also a stage for the Ummah to launch its defense against extremism and Islamophobia at the international level, he said.
Expect for great emphasis on economic development, Malaysia would continue to champion the Palestinian issues and has demonstrated the unswerving support and solidarity with the peopleof Palestine in their struggle to achieve their inalienable rights,he stressed.
Based on the foreign ministry's press release, the OIC, born after a terrorist attack in 1969, has now evolved into an organization that attaches importance to the economic, social and political issues affecting the Ummah. It has 57 member states now with a population of more than 1.5 billion.
The late first Prime Minister of Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman was selected as the first secretary-general of the organization.
