Pakistan's prime minister has said that the Makkah Agreement is not directed against any country, seeking to clarify the intent behind the accord amid regional tensions. He also strongly condemned recent attacks by the Houthis against Saudi Arabia, describing them as deplorable.
The remarks come against a backdrop of heightened tension in the region, with Saudi Arabia having faced attacks attributed to Houthi forces. Pakistan's positioning on the agreement appears aimed at reassuring other regional and international actors about its scope and purpose.
Regional context
The Makkah Agreement has drawn attention amid broader discussions of regional security arrangements involving Gulf states and their allies. By stating explicitly that the agreement targets no particular country, Pakistan's leadership appears to be addressing concerns or speculation about its strategic implications.
The condemnation of the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia further underscores Pakistan's alignment with Gulf partners on regional security matters, as tensions involving Houthi forces continue to affect the wider region.
