This is a compilation of all the
important documents relating to Pakistan-OIC relations. These
documents are given in two parts in the shape of Islamic
Conference on Foreign Ministers and Islamic Summit Declarations.
The author has analytically reviewed the nature of Pakistan-OIC
relations in his Preface to the book. It has been emphasized that
Pakistan, since its inception, has been working for developing
close relations with the Muslim world. Syed Sharifuddin Pirzada,
Senior Adviser to the Prime Minister of Pakistan and
Ex-Secretary-General, OIC in his Foreword to the book has traced
the emergence of Pakistan as a separate Muslim State in the
background of its affiliation with Islamic Commonwealth of Nations
duly documented from the British Records. It was on his suggestion
that Putrajaya Declaration dated 17 October 2003 was included as
an important document along with other Appendices and Annexure
including the Charter of the OIC. This book provides a deep
insight to Pakistan-OIC relations and is expected to augur well on
the future of Ole.
