The meeting discussed regional and global security, strengthening joint defence capabilities, military cooperation and coordinated efforts to combat terrorism.

Speaking to the media after the meeting, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the objective of the meeting was to promote regional peace and stability.

He said the three countries also discussed various measures aimed at building the institutional framework of the alliance.

Fidan said the partnership between Pakistan, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia is based on international law and is not directed against any specific state.

He said the three countries have begun establishing the structure of the alliance, while greater coordination and cooperation among their armed forces would also be explored.

The agenda included determining the joint responsibilities of the three countries amid growing regional and global tensions, assessing regional and international security developments, and strengthening their collective defence capabilities.

The participants also reviewed ways to enhance coordination among the armed forces of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye, as well as opportunities for cooperation in joint defence production, research and development.

Measures to make joint efforts against terrorism more effective were also discussed during the meeting.

The Makkah Joint Defence Agreement aims to promote security, peace, stability and prosperity among the three countries while strengthening their collective defence capabilities and deterrence.

Under the agreement, an armed attack on any one of the three member states will be considered an attack on all three countries.

The three countries have stressed that the alliance is not aimed at creating a front against any particular state, but is intended to strengthen defence cooperation and contribute to regional stability.
