Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan to Discuss Yemen Conflict

The leader of Yemen’s Saudi-backed government has announced the initiation of a significant military operation aimed at reclaiming territory controlled by the Iran-backed Houthis. In response to recent attacks by the Houthis, Pakistan’s foreign minister revealed that Iran has proposed engaging the Houthis politically.

This proposal will be a topic of discussion at an upcoming meeting of the Mecca defence pact committee, scheduled to take place in Riyadh this week. The meeting will include Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Defence Minister Yasar Guler, and Chief of the General Staff Selcuk Bayraktaroglu, alongside officials from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

This gathering signifies a collaborative effort among these nations to address the ongoing conflict in Yemen and explore potential diplomatic solutions.
