New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters minister vowed that New Zealand Muslims will be 'safe' after mosque attack.

"Ensuring Muslim communities in New Zealand feel safe and secure is a particular focus," Winston Peters said at a an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul.

Last Friday, a gunman killed 50 people after opening fire at two mosques in the town of Christchurch in eastern New Zealand.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called the shooting a terrorist act, saying it was the country's "darkest day."

The suspected shooter is Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian national and a Dunedin resident. The gunman is known to have published a manifesto filled with anti-Muslim statements prior to committing the attack.

Earlier, a court in New Zealand ruled to place Tarrant in custody until April 5.
