The session will also discuss recent economic developments on the global scale, and their impacts on Islamic nations in particular, and the role of the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation in raising the level of commercial exchange between member states to 20 percent by 2015.
Another topic on the agenda will be the role of public-private partnerships in developing the tourism sector, he added.
