Madani briefed the Prime Minister on OIC's counter-terrorism initiatives, underlining that addressing the root causes of terrorism is a key component of the Organization's anti-terror campaign. The two leaders concurred that Muslim countries should be able to come together and resolve their own issues, whether political or economic, without external interference. The Secretary General invited the Prime Minister to take a leading role in this regard in implementing OIC's initiative on 'Islamic Rapprochement' as adopted by the 13th OIC Islamic Summit. Discussions during the meeting also centered on other issues of mutual concern, including ongoing conflicts in OIC and Muslim-populated non-OIC countries. --More 13:21 LOCAL TIME 10:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
