President Pezeshkian urges Muslim unity to counter Israeli aggressions

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has highlighted the necessity of unity among Islamic nations, urging collective action to counter the aggressions of the Israeli regime.

“Islamic countries must unite and stand against the aggression of the Zionist regime,” Pezeshkian said while addressing the D-8 group of developing nations’ summit in Cairo on Thursday.

“It is our religious, legal, and humanitarian duty to take more immediate and practical measures to prevent further harm to our loved ones in crisis-hit areas,” he emphasized.

The president also expressed hope for strengthened relations among D-8 member states during Egypt’s presidency of the organization.

“I hope this period will witness deeper friendship and brotherhood between members and significant steps toward enhancing multilateral cooperation,” he said.

The D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation, also known as Developing-8, is an organization for developing cooperation among Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey.

Leading a high-profile delegation, President Pezeshkian arrived in Cairo on Wednesday to take part in the D-8 summit. It is the first visit by an Iranian president to Egypt in 11 years.
