ENVOYS from 30 Islamic countries said they believe China is protecting the rights of the Uighur population in the semi-autonomous Xinjiang region after a five-day visit. 

Diplomats from countries including Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen and Pakistan visited Xinjiang’s capital Urumqi along with Kashgar and Aksu prefectures from August 1 to 5. 

They were invited by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
