Fidan defends Mecca Agreement before former US ambassador

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan defended the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, which he signed with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, emphasizing that its aim is to strengthen military cooperation in the region and that it is not just ink on paper. He responded to doubts about the agreement's ability to handle regional crises, especially in Yemen, by comparing their inquiries about its effectiveness to questions regarding NATO's effectiveness. He highlighted that the Mecca Agreement sends a strong message of collective defense, and that the signed states consider it a security reinforcement rather than a threat. The agreement was signed last August and is based on the principle of mutual defense in the event any of the signatory countries is attacked, amid escalating security tensions in the region.
