Saudi, Pakistan, and Turkey Officials to Meet Iran for Regional Security TalksPreviousNext

Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey are scheduled to meet Iranian representatives in Tehran to discuss regional security and coordination. The meeting, involving Saudi Defence Minister Khalid bin Salman, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, and Turkey's intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin, aims to address escalating tensions amid ongoing Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. This diplomatic initiative follows a joint defence pact among the three countries and seeks to promote regional cooperation and de-escalation amid broader security challenges in West Asia.
