Islamabad: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on October 18 said Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised to discuss with Prime Minister A B Vajpayee, some of the issues relating to Kashmir and resumption of India-Pak dialogue raised by him during their meeting at Kuala Lumpur.

Putin promised to discuss the issues with Vajpayee when the two meet during the Indian Prime Minister's visit to Moscow in November, Musharraf told reporters on his return from the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC).

Musharraf met Putin on the sidelines of the just concluded OIC summit meeting at Putra Jaya in Malayasia.

Asked about OIC support to the Kashmir issue he said the OIC Contact Group gave a unanimous support to Kashmiris cause adding Pakistan would certainly like more overt support from the member countries.

On the OIC conference, Musharraf said the establishment of the Commission to restructure and revitalise the OIC was a great achievement and victory for the Muslim world.

"The establishment of the Commission is the most concrete step of the OIC as 57 member countries must act in unison through an institutional arrangement with dynamism and authority".

Musharraf said that in his address at the Summit he made it very clear that there is no other way to move forward.

"Individual ideas can be implemented through putting them together by institutions and I am glad that this was realised by the leaders of the Muslim countries", he said.
