UN General Assembly
1977

116. The Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya believes that regional organizations such as the OAU, the League of Arab States and the Islamic Conference, play a significant role in supporting United Nations efforts for peace and freedom. Experience has shown, in recent years, that these organizations have played a significant role in the support of the work of our Organization, both in the context of their contributions within the United Nations, and in the context of the meetings they have held in their respective regions. My country had the honour to host the Eighth Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers from 27 Jurcad A1 Awal to 3 Jumad Al-Thani 1397H, corresponding to 16 to 22 May 1977.
