Tehran, IRNA - Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi while referring to the initiative presented by Iran to hold an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) said that only Islamic unity and solidarity can block the path for Zionists' further atrocities and criminal acts.

President Raisi made the remarks in his Friday evening phone talk with Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

"While we are witnessing the inaction of the international community against the crimes and aggression of the Zionist Regime, only the decisive message of the unity and solidarity of Muslims can prevent the spread of these aggressions," President Raisi said.

The Iranian president congratulated the month of Ramadan to President Tokayev and said, "Various issues of the Islamic world, especially the aggression and insult by the Zionist Regime to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Gaza and Lebanon, demand that Islamic countries deal with these aggressive actions through more consultations and cooperation."

President Raisi called Kazakhstan a close neighbor and friend of Iran, and said, "In terms of transportation, Iran is the best option for Kazakhstan's fast access and safe transit to open waters."

President Tokayev thanked President Raisi for his call  and congratulated him on the month of Ramadan, saying, "I completely agree with your Excellency that Muslim countries should solve the problems of the Islamic world by strengthening cooperation and expanding mutual consultations."
