For his part, Al-Faisal termed as "critical" the situation in the Mideast region and called for enhancing unity and solidarity among Muslim nations under the present sensitive circumstances.

He called on Muslim countries to boost the cooperation as a way to prevent foreign powers from abusing the difference of viewpointsand to avoid the scenario of fishing in the troubled waters.
