The 32nd International Islamic Unity Conference, organized by the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought (WFPIST), is slated to be held in Tehran on November 24-26 with representatives from more than 80 countries in attendance.

High-ranking officials and religious figures, including 10 ministers and 40 Muftis, plan to participate in the international event.
