| Description | Foreign ministers from Muslim nations called on international forces to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible.
The joint declaration came at the end of a three-day meeting in Islamabad of foreign ministers from the 57-member Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
"We emphasise ... accelerating the capacity of the Iraqi security forces and securing the earliest possible withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq," it said.
The declaration also warned that Iraq should not be split along Sunni-Shiite lines.
It made no reference to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's suggestion that a UN-mandated Muslim force should be deployed in Iraq.
