Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan to Meet in Riyadh Amid Yemen Conflict Escalation
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are set to meet in Riyadh on October 5 to discuss the Mecca defence pact and recent regional developments, including the escalating conflict in Yemen. The Saudi-backed Yemeni government has launched a major military operation against Iran-backed Houthi forces, resulting in over 70 deaths in clashes around Taiz and Lahj provinces. Pakistan's foreign minister noted Iran's proposal for political engagement with the Houthis, a topic expected to be addressed at the meeting alongside alliance institutionalisation efforts.
