ISTANBUL (A.A) – Turkish President Abdullah Gul said Saturday the current period was suitable for spreading Islamic civilization’s knowledge, experiences and Islam’s peaceful character across the globe. Delivering the opening remarks of a ministerial meeting of the Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation (COMCEC) of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Istanbul, Gul said that "we must make use of the COMCEC platform on the 25th anniversary of its foundation as a platform that has proved its success". We must note that the COMCEC is not much effective in timely implementation of projects and in reaching its potential, Gul said. In order to assist COMCEC to become a more effective and strong body, we must strengthen certain mechanisms and prepare a visionary document that could be implemented, Gul said. (SOL-EÖ)
