A Milestone for D-8 Countries

The D-8 Summit held in Kuala Lumpur ended yesterday with a rather encouraging note. Member countries like Indonesia, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey are already producing cars on their own. A decision to pool the available resources of these countries to mount on a joint-project in car production is highly lauded. But why only cars ? I look forward to seeing another joint-effort by the D-8 to produce arms for defence soon.
