Recently, Saudi Arabia has reportedly turned down Pakistan’s request for an immediate meeting of foreign ministers of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to discuss the Kashmir issue. While the Saudi reluctance does not imply that the OIC will not discuss Kashmir, it suggests a marginal modification in its policies on India’s core concerns. Probably, such modifications are a consequence of changing geopolitics caused by shifts in US-Arab relations.
