The Saudi-hosted summit condemned the “transfer of embassies of the United States and Guatemala to Jerusalem” and urged all members to “boycott” countries that have opened diplomatic missions in the city, a statement said.
The summit also condemned the inhumane situation of Rohingya Muslims, urging a halt to violence, it said in a statement.
It also stressed that Myanmar’s government has the responsibility to protect its citizens, the statement added.
