Organization of Islamic Cooperation Secretary-General Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said yesterday that he would soon visit Myanmar as the head of a high-level delegation including OIC foreign ministers as part of efforts to stop the attacks against Rohingya Muslims.

Addressing a press conference, he said the visit came in response to an invitation he received from Myanmar President Thein Sein. “We have not canceled our pre-planned visit to Myanmar but it was postponed due to insecure conditions in the country,” he told Arab News.

NOTE: Sorry to say, but when the OIC Chiefs postpone a visit to Myanmar due to ‘insecure conditions’ there is either something wrong with OIC or with their Chiefs. Emergency assistance has to be implemented when there is an emergency, no? Sad state of affairs.
