Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia to hold emergency talks on Houthi attacks

Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia will top the agenda when Pakistan, Turkey and the kingdom convene emergency talks next week, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar says. Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, Dar said the strategic political defence committee would meet under the three countries’ “Mecca Joint ⁠Defence Agreement”. The countries signed the pact in August, several weeks before the Houthis began attacking the kingdom. Dar added that more than six other countries want to join the agreement.
