According to the "Operative Information Center-OMM", the opening ceremony features addresses from speakers and deputy speakers of OIC member parliaments, as well as representatives from various international organizations.
The session, which has brought together parliamentary delegations from over 40 nations, including speakers from more than 10 countries and representatives from 10 international organizations, is focused on the theme "Promoting sustainable and inclusive economic development in OIC member states through parliamentary cooperation." More than 400 delegates are expected to participate in the event.
