The 15th General Assembly of the Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (COMSTECH) was held in mid-June 2016 in Islamabad, hosted by the Government of Pakistan.
Pakistan was supposed to host the head of COMSTECH summit in 2015, but due to special circumstances in the country, including security issues, Islamabad twice postponed the meeting, and finally the privilege of hosting the COMSTECH summit was transferred to Kazakhstan.
