Jeddah (UNA) – The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hussein Ibrahim Taha, congratulated Mr. Hussein Al-Sheikh on his appointment as Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Vice-President of the State of Palestine.
In a written message, the Secretary-General expressed his confidence that the new role and responsibilities he assumes constitute a bridge to strengthen Palestinian national unity, based on commitment to the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, its political program, and its international obligations.
