巴基斯坦外长伊沙克·达尔周五表示，根据巴基斯坦、土耳其和沙特阿拉伯三国签署的联合防御协定而设立的战略政治防御委员会，将很快在沙特首都利雅得举行会议。
Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Friday that the Strategic Political Defense Committee (SPDC) established under the joint defense pact between Pakistan, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia will meet “soon” in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
达尔介绍称，该委员会由三国各派三名代表组成，分别是各自国家的外长、国防部长以及总参谋长。此前，三国总参谋长已于9月25日在利雅得举行了特别会议，而外长们则于9月24日在纽约会面。
Dar said the committee has three members from each country – the foreign ministers, defense ministers and chiefs of General Staff. The three military chiefs met in Riyadh on Sept. 25 for a special meeting, while the foreign ministers met in New York on Sept. 24.
达尔在胡塞武装袭击沙特的背景下指出：“原则上已经达成一致，整个战略政治防御委员会的会议很快就会在利雅得召开。”据《黎明报》报道，他后来还表示会议将于“下周”举行。
“Very soon, a meeting of the whole SPDC ... has been agreed to in principle, to take place in Riyadh,” Dar said amid Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. Later, according to the daily Dawn, he said that the meeting would take place “next week”.
谈及上周在纽约与伊朗方面的会晤，达尔称伊朗方面出于善意提议，应通过政治途径与胡塞武装展开对话。他表示，伊朗总统及外长都“希望”结束胡塞武装与沙特之间的冲突。
Recalling his meeting with Iranians in New York last week, Dar said they had suggested in “good faith” that the Houthis should be engaged politically. Both the Iranian president and foreign minister “wish” for the Houthi-Saudi conflict “to conclude,” Dar said.
达尔还提到，他已向伊朗方面说明了今年8月在麦加签署的三国协议，强调“作为穆斯林，我们必须恪守协议”。不过他也指出，任何相关决策都需经三国共同商定。此外，达尔强调伊朗方面“与胡塞武装及伊拉克民兵组织均无关联”。
He said he “sensitized” the Iranian side about the trilateral pact signed in Mecca in August, adding that “as Muslims we have to honor it.”Dar stressed, however, that any decision would be taken by all three members of the pact. The Iranians “disassociate themselves from both Houthis as well as Iraqi militia,” Dar said.
当被问及该防御协定是否会扩容时，达尔回应称：“至少有六个国家有意加入这一以防御为目的的麦加协定。”今年8月，土耳其总统埃尔多安、沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼以及巴基斯坦总理谢赫巴兹·谢里夫共同签署了《麦加联合防御协议》。该协议明确规定：任何针对任一缔约国的攻击，均被视为对全体缔约国的攻击。
Asked whether the Mecca pact would expand, Dar said: “At least more than six countries are keen to join the Mecca, which is defensive in nature.”Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement in August. The agreement stipulates that an attack against any one of the signatory states will be considered an attack against all parties.
