Malaysia will host a conference on terrorism for Islamic foreign ministers from Apr 1 to 3, a government official said today.

All 57 members of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) have been invited and some 1,000 delegates were expected, a foreign ministry spokesman told AFP .

The conference would be the first time the ministers would meet specifically to discuss terrorism, he said.

The OIC has condemned the Sept 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, and has pledged co-operation in fighting global terrorism. (AFP)
