Addressing the inaugural ceremony of a two-day conference on Islam and peace titled 'Moderate Dialogue and Community Peace' in Islamabad, Baloch asked religious scholars and leaders to condemn terrorist attacks jointly instead of issuing individual statements.

The minister further said that Pakistan's efforts against terrorism have been appreciated worldwide.

Leader of the House in Senate Raja Zafarul Haq, who also attended the conference, highlighted the need to establish a forum to resolve conflicts within the Muslim community.
