His Majesty King Abdullah II arrived on Friday in the Pakistani capital Islamabad on the third leg of his Asian tour that took him to Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan.

During his several-hour visit, the King will extend condolences to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf over the victims of the earthquake that hit Pakistan and claimed the lives of thousands of peoples.

Under His Majesty King Abdullah II's directives, Jordan sent a military field hospital and two military airplanes, laden with aid to Pakistan with a view to contribute to helping people in areas that were hit by the earthquake.

The two leaders discussed scopes of cooperation between the two countries, means to push the peace process forward, the situation in Iraq, efforts being exerted to fight terrorism and extremism, as well as other issues concerning the Islamic world, especially the campaign that the King has recently led to clarify the true principles of Islam.

The King had earlier held talks on Wednesday with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and on Thursday with Malaysian King Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin on issues related to the Islamic world, the situation in the Middle East as well as bilateral ties and means to develop them in all domains.
