Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have agreed to the rapid deployment of forces to the Kingdom following emergency talks held in Riyadh. The decision was reached during an emergency meeting of the Mecca Defence Alliance, with deployments to be executed under approved arrangements and the respective national laws of the three nations.
The development marks the practical implementation of collective defense commitments under the Makkah Alliance for Defence, a collective security arrangement previously signed in Makkah. This action coincides with escalating fighting in Yemen, and regional observers note that the activation of the pact could carry far-reaching implications for the region.
