Pakistan and Turkey have expressed their support for Palestine and the joint statement by eight Arab-Islamic countries, which welcomed the UK's decision to impose sanctions on imports from illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed Ishaq Dar, discussed bilateral relations and regional developments with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, via phone call.
The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that both countries emphasized the importance of maintaining close consultations on regional matters, including the Regional Four framework alongside Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Pakistan's Defense Minister, Khawaja Asif, warned that any attack on Saudi Arabia could trigger the recently signed Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, following Yemen's Houthis' recent missile attacks on the kingdom.
