What the bank reported

The Islamic Development Bank says its chairman met Thailand’s deputy prime minister and finance minister in Bangkok on 12 October. Their discussions included education and opportunities for Muslim communities, with particular attention to the country’s southern provinces.

The bank’s statement also reviewed its community and scholarship work. This was a partnership discussion; the announcement should not be read as an open application invitation.

What to check next

For readers interested in educational opportunities, the useful next step is to look for a named programme and its own application guidance. Eligibility, deadlines and places should be confirmed with the organiser. AL-Naqawa is summarising the bank’s announcement and is not accepting applications.
