Riyadh Hosts Mecca Defense Meeting
The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the Saudi capital, Riyadh, will host an emergency meeting next week of the Political and Strategic Defense Committee pursuant to the Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement signed between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. The meeting aims to discuss the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and ways to address them. The discussion will include a proposal to shift towards a political approach with the Houthi group instead of military action, based on an Iranian suggestion, with a later official date to be determined for the meeting. These developments come after the signing of the agreement last August and the three countries’ condemnation of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, while continued discussions are underway regarding applications from new countries to join the agreement.
