As is known, the leaders of the OIC state parliament will hold a meeting at the Pullman Hotel, Bandung City. The forum is a strengthening of parliaments from Islamic countries as an alternative to discuss global issues.

This meeting will also discuss the formation of the MPR Forum / Syuro Council / World High Council or other names as a cooperation agreement from Islamic countries around the world.

One of the locations that will be visited is the Asian-African Conference Museum (KAA) Jalan Asia Afrika, Bandung City. The museum management said it was ready to welcome the world leaders.

Head of the UPT Museum of the Asian-African Conference, Dahlia Kusuma Dewi, said that the opening of the parliamentary leaders' meeting will take place at the Merdeka Building. Furthermore, the participants will also visit the KAA Museum.

To welcome the participants, Gedung Merdeka also carried out a number of renovations.

"For the morning of October 25, the activity was in the Nerdeka Building Hall, after which a visit to the KAA Museum is scheduled," he explained.

Regarding readiness, Dahlia ensured that her party was ready to welcome the delegates as well as the event.

"We have prepared. We have coordinated several times with the MPR. Of course the provincial government (West Java Provincial Government) is ready to accelerate the renovation. I see the hall and west wing, as well as the VIP room to catch up with the event," he explained.

Dahlia explained that the meeting was a meeting between parliamentary leaders initiated by the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR).

"Incidentally, the invited countries are also members of the OIC. All of this is in the context of the OIC. This means that the OIC certainly has its own annual agenda, if this agenda is outside the OIC," he explained.

Based on its agenda, this world MPR forum will invite parliamentary leaders from Islamic countries around the world.

In addition to discussing several global issues, the parliamentary meeting of Islamic countries will also present historical stories in the city of Bandung for the delegates.

The delegates are scheduled to take a historical walk by walking around looking at cultural heritage buildings in the city of Bandung until they enter the Merdeka Building which is the venue for the Asian-African Conference.

In addition, another reason for choosing Bandung as the host for the forum was because the MPR RI, when it was MPRS, had an office at Gedung Merdeka from the 1960s to 1971. (yan)**
