1. (U) Most of Pakistan's March 25 papers highlighted Saudi
King Abdullah's invitation to President Musharraf to attend
the March 28-29 Arab League Summit in Riyadh. According to
the press, this is the first time the Arab League has invited
a Pakistani leader to attend a League summit as a participant.
2. (C) During Ambassador's March 24 farewell call on
Musharraf, the President said he had called Saudi King
Abdullah to follow up on the Saudi promise to host a summit
of seven moderate Muslim states (reftels). The King
responded by inviting Musharraf to attend and speak at the
March 28-29 Arab Summit and asked Musharraf to extend
invitations on his behalf to the other three non-Arab states
involved in the initiative (Turkey, Indonesia, and Malaysia).
Musharraf said he would use the opportunity to stress the
themes of the threat within Islam from extremism and
sectarianism and the need for Islamic moderates to take a
stand. Abdullah also told Musharraf they would consult on a
date for a summit of the seven.
