Pakistani Ruler Pervez Musharraf held talks Friday with Saudi King Fahd on the current Islamic and international arenas, reported the Suadi Press Agency (SPA).
Musharraf discussed the same subjects with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz along with leading officials from both countries, including Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan bin Abdel Aziz and Pakistani Foreign Minister Abdul Sattar and Finance Minister Shaukat Aziz, said the agency.
Means for boosting bilateral relations between the two sisterly countries were also discussed, SPA added.
Musharraf arrived in Riyadh on Wednesday and will perform the Hajj.
The general visited Riyadh in October 1999 for his first official visit abroad after his coup that ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif's government.
He pardoned Sharif from lengthy jail terms for hijacking and corruption and exiled him to Saudi Arabia in December under an arrangement brokered by a Saudi prince - Albawaba.com
