Fidan: Mecca alliance to elect secretary-general who will take office soon
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the Mecca alliance between Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan will elect a secretary-general who will take office soon, and stressed that the Turkish Armed Forces can respond to any threat.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told a news conference at the Turkish House in New York that the Mecca alliance will elect a secretary-general, who will take office in the near future.
Asked about the Turkish Armed Forces, Fidan said they are highly professional and have the means, capabilities and, more importantly, the experience to respond to all kinds of threats.
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry announced on September 24 that Pakistan will hold the first three-year term of the alliance’s secretariat, to be set up in Riyadh, and that retired Lt. Gen. Nauman Mahmood will take the post. Mahmood headed Pakistan’s National Defence University in Islamabad from 2021 to 2023.
Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement on August 7, under which an attack on any party is considered an attack on all.
