Iraq will not attend the 10th Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) Leaders' Summit to be held here next month, said Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar.

"There'll be no representative from Iraq attending the summit because the country is still under occupation," he said.

"As long as Iraq is not in the hands of Iraqis, its leaders are not legitimately elected by Iraqis, until then its seat in the OIC will remain vacant," he said.
