Story summary

On October 26, top officials from the Mecca Pact countries—Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan—met with Iranian officials in Tehran to discuss regional security. The meeting involved Prince Khalid bin Salman (Saudi defense minister), Field Marshal Asim Munir (Pakistan’s army chief and Chief of Defence Forces), and Ibrahim Kalin (Turkish intelligence chief). They discussed strategies to ease tensions amid the re-escalation of conflicts in the region, particularly regarding the Houthi conflict in Yemen. The meeting aimed to prevent a flare-up between Iran and other regional or global powers like the US and Israel. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif later clarified that his non-participation in these discussions was due to it not being under his ministry's mandate, responding to criticism from Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
