KUALA LUMPUR: Underdevelopment and security remain the biggest issues among Muslim nations, said Iranian President Dr Hassan Rouhani.
He said these issues were far ahead than the social issues that involved the ummah's identity on the world stage.
Citing an example, he said Zionist regime's continued pressure against Palestinians and the United States' sanctions on certain Muslim countries, have brought about challenges for the ummah. "It is regrettable that the Muslim world from north Africa to east Asia is grappling with serious security threats, and problems ranging from the continued threats from the Zionist regime which is killing our Palestinian brothers and sisters on a daily basis, to the military, political and economic threats by the United States against some Muslim countries," he said in his opening speech at the 5th Kuala Lumpur Summit 2019, here, today.
"We should be designing measures to save us from the domination of the US dollar and American financial regime."Special banking facilities among Muslims, and the use of mutual monetary tools among Muslim nations and trade agreements and investments among these nations would be advantageous.Rouhani said Iran overcame all challenges and remained steadfast despite the sanctions imposed by the US on the Islamic republic.
