The countries of the Mecca Treaty and Iran agreed to continue the dialogue on peace The representatives of the countries of the Mecca Defense Treaty (Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan) in the negotiations with Iran agreed to continue the cooperation, Arab media reported, citing their joint statement. The parties intend to conduct a dialogue aimed at "strengthening cooperation in several fields, including in the field of security and peace". In August 2026, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed the Mecca Defense Agreement on military cooperation, which stipulates a collective response in the event of an attack on one of the countries participating in the agreement. The countries entered into such an agreement against the background of the conflict between the US and Iran, during which the Iranian army fired at Saudi targets.
