Foreign Minister Dr. AK Abdul Momen inaugurated the Second Brainstorming Session on Comprehensive Reform of the OIC at Hotel Intercontinental in Dhaka on 19^th February 2020. The two days session jointly co-chaired by Bangladesh, Turkey and Saudi Arabia for re-engineering legal, political and administrative architecture of the OIC is expected to come up with stronger policy recommendations. The recommendations will be discussed at  the next council of Foreign Ministers to be held in April 2020 in Niamey, Niger. 

In his opening remarks the Foreign Minister urged the delegates from all OIC member states, OIC General Secretariat, and Organs of OIC to offer views and visions to identify areas, issues and possible solutions towards a comprehensive reform of the OIC. He hoped that delegates would come up with mechanism for making the organisation more relevant to the Ummah that it serves keeping national interests aside., Dr. Momen congratulated the Gambia, and indeed, the whole brotherhood of the OIC, for its innovative approach towards resolving the Rohingya crisis through international legal mechanism at the ICJ. 

He beseeched delegates to identify ways and means to engage the private sector and civil society  in new partnership models. He urged to harness the energy of the youth and the women to encourage various professional associations and networks such as the STI (Science, Technology and Innovation) community in furthering OIC objectives and advancing its collective agenda. 

The Foreign Minister noted that Bangladesh always wants to ensure that mechanisms and initiatives created for dispute and conflict resolution and diffusion of tension through peaceful means like mediation, arbitration, joint diplomatic moves and peace-making/peace-building missions are activated, harmonized and put into operation. The foreign minister made a clarion call to stop the fratricidal conflicts plaguing the Muslim ummah.  Foreign Minister said, "we must stop in fighting to make the Ummah's single voice heard by the world"
