The Secretary-General met today with H.E. Mr. Iyad Madani, Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

They discussed the role the OIC can play politically and in terms of humanitarian assistance in ending the crisis in Syria. It was noted that all regional powers here at Montreux for the High-Level Segment of the Geneva Conference are also OIC members, a potential asset for helping to find a solution.

They discussed the political and security situation in Iraq and the need for both increased security capacity and greater political inclusiveness. Their conversation also covered the human rights situation in Myanmar and the Central African Republic.
