RIYADH: On Friday, the chiefs of staff of the Saudi, Turkish, and Pakistani armed forces met in Riyadh to explore ways to support the Kingdom in the face of the Houthis’ increasing attacks on Saudi Arabia in Yemen.
According to the Saudi Ministry of Defence, the three nations signed the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement last month, and senior military officials decided to strengthen their military and intelligence collaboration and improve the integration of defensive assets.
They reiterated their commitment to collective defence and their resolve to defend Saudi Arabia’s “security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.” Along with reviewing the Kingdom’s current security status and challenges, they denounced recent attacks that targeted economic and civilian facilities in Makkah and other places. Asim Munir, the head of Pakistan’s army, also met with Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman on Friday.
Prince Khalid posted on social media, “We discussed the heinous attacks targeting the holy city of Makkah and the Kingdom’s civilian and economic infrastructure, and we welcomed the outcomes of the Chiefs of Staff meeting under the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement.” In compliance with the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, we reaffirmed our ongoing cooperative efforts to combat these attacks.
