Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan jointly affirmed Saudi Arabia's right to self-defence under international law and emphasised the importance of maintaining safe navigation amid increasing attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis. The foreign ministers called for dialogue and diplomacy as the path to regional stability and supported Yemen's government efforts for peace.
