Senior officials from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye are scheduled to meet Iranian officials in Tehran on Monday to discuss regional security and cooperation. The meeting comes as the three countries seek to strengthen regional ties and explore ways to establish a security framework based on the capabilities of regional states.

According to sources cited by the British news agency Reuters, the talks will focus on regional engagement and cooperation. Saudi Arabia will be represented by Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, while Türkiye will send its intelligence chief to the meeting. Pakistani officials are also expected to participate in the discussions.

The meeting is taking place amid ongoing efforts to improve coordination among regional countries and address shared security concerns. The participating countries are expected to discuss ways to strengthen regional stability through dialogue and closer cooperation.

Ali Bagheri, deputy secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said the three countries could work with Iran to take effective steps towards establishing regional security. Speaking to Iranian media, he suggested that a joint security framework could be developed by relying exclusively on the capabilities and resources of countries in the region.

Bagheri emphasised that Iran’s defence model was based on domestic capabilities and national resources. He said Iran believed regional security should be ensured by the countries of the region rather than relying on external powers.

His remarks highlighted Tehran’s position that regional states should take greater responsibility for maintaining peace and stability through cooperation and coordinated security arrangements.

Meanwhile, a bill related to the Makkah agreement has been presented in the Turkish parliament, signalling further developments surrounding regional cooperation.

The Tehran meeting is expected to provide an opportunity for Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Iran to exchange views on regional challenges and explore practical measures to strengthen security cooperation. However, the details of any agreements or concrete outcomes from the talks have not yet been announced.
