MWL introduces updated strategy and framework

  • The event, held at the league’s headquarters in Makkah, was attended by prominent Islamic figures
  • Modernization initiative reflects league’s commitment to adapting to the evolving global landscape

MAKKAH: Muslim World League Secretary-General Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa presided over the inauguration of the league’s enhanced strategic plan and updated governance framework.

The event, held at the league’s headquarters in Makkah, was attended by prominent Islamic figures, according to a recent report.

This comprehensive modernization initiative reflects the league’s commitment to adapting to the evolving global landscape and expanding the scope of its mission.

The plan particularly emphasizes expanding international programs to promote the “Charter of Makkah” and the “Charter for Building Bridges Between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects.”

Al-Issa said the initiative advances the league’s vision, mission, goals, and values through a forward-looking strategy and governance model.

He also reaffirmed that the league’s founding principles, as set out in its statutes, remain steadfast and continue to guide its efforts to develop and modernize in service of the global Muslim community.

Saudi defense chief discusses regional situation with Turkish, Romanian, South Korean counterparts

RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman had separate phone conversations with his Turkish, Romanian and South Korean  counterparts about the escalating regional crisis. 

In his call with Yasar Guler, Turkey’s Minister of National Defense, Prince Khalid said “we reaffirmed our commitment to all measures aimed at protecting our security.”

Prince Khalid wrote: “We condemned the Iranian attacks against our countries, discussed the impact of the regional escalation on security and stability.”

In a separate call, Prince Khalid spoke with his Romanian counterpart Radu Miruta, Minister of National Defense, who condemned the Iranian attacks targeting the Kingdom.

“We also discussed regional developments and the threat that the escalation poses to security and stability in the region and the world,” Prince Khalid wrote on social media about his meeting with Miruta.

He also spoke with Ahn Gyu-back, South Korean minister of national defense. The ministers condemned Iran’s aggression against the Kingdom and also reviewed regional developments.

The US and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28 and Tehran has attacked Gulf nations as well as Israeli and US assets in the region in an escalation that threatens security and economic stability.

Iran has said it is blockading energy shipments across the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for the transfer of oil and gas, prompting a surge in the price of the commodities.
