  "account": "Pakistan has stated that no talks took place during the Mecca agreement regarding a military response to the Houthis' assaults on Saudi Arabia, according to the foreign ministry spokesman. The spokesman made these remarks in reaction to a question about how Islamabad intends to adhere to the provisions of the joint defense pact it recently signed with Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The pact stipulates that an armed assault on any one of the three nations will be deemed an assault on all of them. However, there is currently no discussion about such a strategy, according to the foreign ministry spokesman. He went on to say that there are no current plans to broaden the Mecca alliance.",
  "summary": "However, Pakistan says it will 'act' under the Mecca pact if the situation requires a response to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia.",
