The summit organized by Pakistan in the federal capital was attended by about 70 delegations from OIC member states, non-members, and regional and international organizations.
The OIC summit focused on the looming economic and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan after the Taliban returned to power in August while the US-led foreign forces were still pulling out of the war-battered country.
