TEHRAN (IRNA) -- Head of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy committee Alaeddin Borujerdi said on Sunday that parliaments in Islamic countries should cooperate to help resolve issues of the world’s Muslims.

Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union (IIPU), through regular and timely contact among members, can play a significant role in resolving the challenges and issues of Islamic countries, he said.
Borujerdi made the remarks in a meeting with Secretary General of IIPU Mahmud Urul Gilich here on Sunday.
Given the significant role of IIPU, Borujerdi called on its secretary general to play a much more active role in bolstering the status of the union in Islamic countries as well as in the world.
World Muslims have deep-rooted ties and should properly showcase the rich Islamic civilization in the world, he said.
He hoped to witness a promising future for the union at the international level.
Gilich, for his part, briefed Borujerdi of the performance of the union as well as its future programs.
