Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will host his counterparts from Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Britain, France, and Germany in Istanbul on Friday for talks on regional conflicts. A Turkish diplomatic source stated that this marks the first time these seven nations will convene in this format, an initiative spearheaded by Turkey. The meeting comes amid threats to shipping routes and regional security posed by wars in Iran, Yemen, and Ukraine.
Discussions are expected to cover the Israeli-Palestinian issue, developments in the Strait of Hormuz, the situation in Yemen, efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, and opportunities for enhanced cooperation between regional and European countries. Minister Fidan is anticipated to emphasize the need for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict between the United States and Iran, the importance of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb strait, and reaffirm Turkey's support for Saudi Arabia's security against Houthi attacks, in line with a mutual defense agreement between Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, Fidan plans to inform his counterparts about Ankara's efforts to prevent the war in Ukraine from expanding into the Black Sea, and to highlight the regional security risks stemming from the conflict.
