"The rationale behind the OIC was to create unity and convergence among member states, " Ghassemi said , adding, "Abusing the meetings of the organization for putting baseless, provocative issues against other members damages the interaction and trust among the members," Iran Press reported.

Calling for unity in the Muslim world
"The member states should take steps toward strengthening unity and solidarity in the Muslim world instead of misusing the opportunity to promote the goals and dictated policies of states outside the Muslim world", he added.
Iran's indisputable sovereignty over the three Persian Gulf islands
Ghassemi also reiterated that Iran's sovereignty over the three Persian Gulf islands is definite, and suggesting such claims would make no change in the legal status of the islands.
