Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar reiterated their commitment to strengthening cooperation under the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement.
The two ministers discussed matters related to the agreement during their meeting in New York, where they will attend the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly. They also considered ways to advance regional peace, stability and security.
Background to the Mecca defense agreement
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a bilateral defense agreement last year. Following that agreement, they signed a tripartite Mecca defense agreement last month, including Türkiye.
Attacks targeting Saudi Arabia
Ishaq Dar said their solidarity with Saudi Arabia remained steadfast and condemned the latest attacks targeting the country.
Saudi Arabia has faced attacks by the Houthis in Yemen in recent weeks. The two sides also came under air, missile and drone attacks during the ongoing US-Iran war.
