Discussions also touched on circumstances in the Middle East, particularly the Palestinian cause, Jerusalem, and current efforts aimed to find a political solution to the region's crises, along with diverse Mideast and global maneuvers seeking to fight terrorism within a holistic strategy.

The Pakistani official, on his part, said the Palestinian cause and the issue of Jerusalem are "definitely pivotal and sensitive" and any measures attempting to tamper with the status quo in this holy city will undermine peace efforts and will have negative repercussions on the region and the world.
