The meeting serves as a preparatory session for the upcoming D-8 Summit, which Egypt will host on Thursday.
Delegations led by heads of the organization's member states will attend the meeting.
The summit will convene under the theme “Investing in Youth and Supporting SMEs: Shaping Tomorrow’s Economy."
This reflects the organization’s commitment to fostering youth empowerment and promoting small- and medium-sized enterprises to drive economic growth and development.
The D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation, known as Developing-8, was founded in 1997.
It is an organisation that promotes development cooperation among its member states.
These states include major Muslim-majority countries such as Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey, which, according to some estimates, comprise about 14 percent of the global population.
Its goals are to improve member states’ positions in the global economy, diversify and create new opportunities in trade relations, enhance participation in decision-making at an international level, and improve member states' living standards.
