Axar.az reports that Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov shared the information on X following a meeting with OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha’s successor, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, who is visiting the country.

Bayramov once again congratulated Ahmed on his appointment as secretary-general and wished him success in his new role.

“We exchanged views on strengthening cooperation between Azerbaijan and the OIC, the priorities of our country’s upcoming chairmanship of the organisation, and preparations for the OIC summit to be held in Baku in 2027,” the foreign minister noted.
