Reports says the agreement was signed by Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdel Karim Al-Issa, the secretary general of the Muslim World League and Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, president of the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue in the Vatican. Breitbart, quoting Egypt Independent newspaper reports that Saudi Arabia’s newfound openness to and socio-cultural cooperation with the non-Muslim world was as a result of her desire to reduce dependency on oil resources which is its major economic driver. According to the agreement, a coordinating joint committee will be established comprising two representatives for both sides to organize future meetings. It was also reported that the meeting of the committee will be held once every and will be alternated between Rome and a city chosen by the Islamic World League.
