OIC Secretary General, Dr. Yousef A.

The Secretary General reiterated the OIC’s support for and full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as leadership, government and people, in all steps and measures it takes to safeguard the country’s security and stability. Al-Othaimeen praised the vigilance of the Saudi air defense forces as they intercepted the missile before falling on civilian populated areas.
