Turkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan tackled on Saturday over phone with Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud a range of issues, including the burning of a copy of the Quran in Sweden this week.
A statement by the Turkish news agency (Anadolu) said the two also talked about preparations for the extraordinary session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's executive committee to discuss the consequences of the desecration.
The ministers also touched upon the need to combat Islamophobia, and issues of regional cooperation.
There has been widespread outrage and condemnation in the Islamic world since a person identified as Salwan Momika burned a copy of the Muslim holy book under police protection in front of a Stockholm mosque on Wednesday.
The act was timed to coincide with Eid al-Adha, one of the major Islamic religious festivals celebrated by Muslims worldwide.
