Mecca Pact Forms in Region
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced the start of forming the core structure of the "Mecca Alliance," a defensive coalition comprising Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Fidan confirmed that the agreement has progressed from a level of political understanding to the development of practical mechanisms for security and defense cooperation. He described the alliance as a historic step to enhance regional security and deterrence, emphasizing that it is purely defensive in nature and not aimed at targeting any particular country. He clarified that the alliance does not replace NATO but is considered a complement to existing security frameworks, with plans to invite additional countries to join in the future. This announcement follows a meeting in Istanbul focused on establishing implementation mechanisms and military coordination among the three nations.
