Jakarta: The 12th Summit of the Developing Eight (D-8) Organization for Economic Cooperation has been postponed due to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The summit was initially scheduled to take place from April 13 to 15 in Jakarta.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the Indonesian foreign ministry has not set a new date for the summit. Tri Tharyat, director general of the multilateral cooperation department at the Indonesian foreign ministry, confirmed the delay.
