The Turkish President has said Muslim countries have agreed to work closely together to fight terrorism and other crimes.
The countries will also establish an Istanbul-based centre for greater police cooperation.
Leaders from the Muslim countries who make up the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation attended a two-day summit, discussing issues facing the Muslim world, including the humanitarian fall-out from Syria’s civil war.
“It would be appropriate to create a structure among OIC countries which would strengthen and institutionalize cooperation against terror and other crimes,” Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in his opening address at the summit.
“With this in mind, our proposal for the establishment of an OIC police cooperation and coordination centre based in Istanbul found acceptance.”
Key guests at the summit include Saudi King Salman and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
