Discussions focus on operationalising the pact, including command structures and intelligence-sharing. Turkey has indicated the pact could expand to include other Muslim countries, while Pakistan emphasizes regional stability and sovereignty. The UN Security Council condemned the Houthi attacks, underscoring international concern.
