The Republic of Yemen is gathering the support of Arab countries for its candidate, Ambassador Abdul Elah M. Hajar, for the post of Assistant Secretary General of the Islamic Conference Organization.
The Yemeni efforts come before the holding of the Foreign Ministers' conference of the 57 member countries to be held during 14-16 June in Istanbul.
In a statement to the press Ambassador Hajar, Chief of International Organizations and Conferences Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed that the efforts to win the post of Assistant Secretary General of the Islamic Conference Organization comes after Yemen has held several posts in the organization. The latest post was the Vice Presidency of the 10th Summit of the Islamic Conference Organization in 2003, taken by President Saleh.
He confirmed that Yemen has been conducting activities effectively at international organizations, and that Yemen previously presented an unsuccessful candidate to this post. He pointed out that Yemen, supported by a number of Arab countries, competes with the other two countries, Algeria and Sudan, competing to win the post.
