United Nations: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has equated the Palestine problem with the Kashmir issue in an effort to internationalise the vexed issue. Gen Musharraf was speaking yesterday at the interfaith dialogue and cooperation for peace meet, where a number of world leaders were present. The event was hosted by President Gloria Arroyo of the Philippines. ''It is necessary to urgently resolve conflicts and disputes, especially where these involve friction between different religions and faiths, for example in Palestine and Kashmir,'' Gen Musharraf stated. The pakistani leader also called for development support aimed at poverty eradication and generation of socio-economic growth and human development. He also called for a comprehensive strategy for action to promote understanding and cooperation between faiths and cultures. ''Such a strategy should be inclusive involving governments, civil society, private sector, media and international organisations,'' Gen Musharraf opined.
