KING Abdullah and Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf discussed bilateral and regional issues in Jeddah, Saturday.
"The Pakistani president and Saudi King discussed the developments in the Mideast and Pakistan," said Jameel Mohammad Jameel, the director of public relations at Pakistan consulate general.
Musharraf arrived in Jeddah from the United Arab Emirates on Friday night where he discussed issues of mutual concern with Mohammad Bin Zayed Al-Thani, the Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. Musharraf described terrorism as a global challenge, and called for coordination and exchange of information to fight it.
Meanwhile, the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) on Saturday urged a halt to the "cycle of blind violence" in Pakistan which it said contradicts the principles of Islam.
OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, in a statement, called on all sides involved to "stop the cycle of blind violence that contradicts the principles of Islam and its teachings of forgiveness."
