Military leaders from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan met in Riyadh to reinforce their defense cooperation amid ongoing attacks by the Houthi group in Yemen. The meeting, held under the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, saw the chiefs of staff from all three nations reaffirm their commitment to collective security. The discussions focused on enhancing military and intelligence collaboration to better respond to the escalating threat posed by the Houthis.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense confirmed that the leaders agreed to deepen their coordination and integrate defensive capabilities under the agreement. This comes as the Houthis continue to launch attacks on Saudi territory, prompting increased regional concern. The joint effort aims to improve rapid response and intelligence sharing to counter the ongoing conflict.
The meeting highlights the growing alignment among the three nations, despite differing political stances, in addressing the security challenges posed by the Houthi movement. The agreement, signed last month, serves as a framework for sustained military cooperation in the region.
