The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) pledged to play a role in rebuilding peace in the deep South and improving the quality of life for residents of the restive region during a visit last week.
The OIC delegation, led by Yousef Mohammed S Aldobeay, its assistant secretary-general, visited the southern border provinces last Wednesday and Thursday as guests of the government.
They met locals, academics and religious leaders and enjoyed a tour of Wat Mujalinthavapi Viharn and the Jabangtikor Mosque in Pattani, said deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek.
