An emergency meeting of the strategic political defense committee under the pact between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia will focus on Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan’s foreign minister says.
The meeting will be held next week, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar tells reporters.
The regional powers signed the “Mecca Joint Defence Agreement” in August, weeks before Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis launched attacks against Saudi Arabia.
