The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Dr Yousef Al-Othaimeen, on 13 April 2018 received the French Republic’s Consul General in Jeddah and Special Envoy to the OIC, Mr Mustafa Mehraj.

The two parties talked about a number of issues of shared concern and explored ways to boost bilateral relations on all fronts.

The French Special Envoy explained his country’s position vis-à-vis the latest developments in Syria, especially the eastern Ghouta chemical attack by the Syrian regime.

For his part, the Secretary General said the OIC was vocal in its condemnation of the attack using internationally banned munitions on eastern Ghouta which took a heavy toll on innocent civilians, in total disregard of fundamental human values and rules of international law.
