Istanbul will host the 51st session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers on June 21–22, under the theme “The OIC in a Transforming World.”
The 51st meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers will convene in Istanbul, Türkiye, on June 21–22, bringing together top diplomats from member states to address key issues facing the Muslim world.
The summit will be chaired by Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and attended by OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha, along with foreign ministers from the organization’s 57 member states.
This year’s theme, “The OIC in a Transforming World,” reflects growing regional and global challenges confronting Muslim-majority nations, including geopolitical shifts, economic development, and humanitarian crises.
Türkiye, which last hosted the summit in 2004, will assume the council’s one-year rotating chairmanship. The country previously held the same role in 1976 and 1991.
Founded in 1969 in Rabat, Morocco, in response to an arson attack on Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque, the OIC began with 24 members and has grown into the world’s second-largest intergovernmental body after the United Nations. It acts as a unified voice for the Muslim world on matters of common interest, including the Palestinian cause, Islamophobia, and international development.
The inaugural OIC foreign ministers’ conference took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 1970. Since then, the annual meetings have served as a platform for coordination and cooperation among member states.
