By NNN-KUNA,
Kuwait : Chairman of the Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) Saleh Kamel has said that economy has to be adopted as a means to unite Muslim countries instead of politics.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Fourth World Islamic Economic Forum’s (WIEF) Meeting of chairmen and presidents of Islamic Chambers of Commerce with business leaders Monday, he said: “For many years, politics did not succeed in bringing together Muslim countries, but now, economy can shorten the distance and save time, allowing us to achieve this goal.”
He said that Muslim countries held numerous conferences and meetings to discuss politics in an attempt to resolve problems but what was needed was to provide primary resources for industry and agriculture.
Kamel called for implementing the 10-year action plan proposed by the ICCI and adopted in the recent Islamic Summit in Senegal.
