The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has begun operations from new headquarters in the Al-Rayan district of northeast Jeddah after completing its move from its old home, the body said in a statement on Wednesday.

The new headquarters offers new and bigger premises for the organization’s work, helping to support its operations and activities.

The OIC’s Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha extended his gratitude to Saudi Arabia — the host country and chair of the 14th Islamic Summit — and King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the moral support the Kingdom provides to the OIC and its structures.
