Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met with D-8 Secretary-General Isiaka Abdulqadir Imam on Thursday, calling for a joint investment fund to drive the organization’s goals.

"The D-8 Organization provides a vast market and an excellent platform for member Islamic countries to enhance and develop trade, cultural, scientific, and technological exchanges," Pezeshkian said.

"We believe that if the decisions and resolutions adopted by the D-8 were properly followed through and implemented, the eight Islamic countries could have maximized their benefits from the organization's capacities."
