Najam Offers Thoughts on OIC Council of Foreign Ministers Meeting
During interviews with Dawn TV and PTV (Pakistan Television), Adil Najam, Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, discussed the importance and impact of the 48th meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers.
The OIC meeting covered pressing issues including Afghanistan, Yemen, Islamaphobia, as well as the changing shape of geopolitics. Najam outlines that many countries, including many represented in the OIC, are reevaluating existing alliances in an increasingly shifting world stage. While OIC has had a shaky history, Najam says this meeting is of particular importance considering the changing geopolitical climate amid multiple global crises including the war in Ukraine.
