The D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation, also known as Developing-8, is an organisation for development co-operation among Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey.[3] Azerbaijan was admitted to the organization as the 9th member on 19 December 2024.[4]
The combined population of the eight countries is about 1.2 billion or 60% of all Muslims, or close to 13% of the world's population and covering an area of 7.6 million square kilometers, 5% of world land area.[5] In 2006, trade between the D-8 member states stood at $35 billion, and it was around $68 billion in 2010.[6] Transactions between the eight developing countries accounted for 3.3 percent of world trade in 2010.[6] The total nominal GDP of the eight nations was around 4.92 trillion as of 2023.
Purposes and objectives

In the first Summit Declaration (Istanbul, 1997), the main objective of D-8 is stated to be socio-economic development in accordance with the following principles:
- Peace instead of conflict.
- Dialogue instead of confrontation.
- Cooperation instead of exploitation.

- Commitment to work together to solve the problem of economic disparities within our countries.
- Reaffirm commitment to enhance co-operation in the field of energy to develop alternative and renewable energy resources.
- Emphasize the importance of D-8 in contributing to the economic development of its member countries and ensure that it promotes global trade.[7]
