Speaking after an extraordinary meeting of the Strategic Political and Defense Committee of the Mecca Alliance – formed by Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan – Hakan Fidan said the gathering had been convened in light of recent developments in the context of Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
菲丹说：“我们详细讨论了可以为沙特阿拉伯的国防提供什么样的支持，另一方面，可以采取哪些措施来和平解决问题。”
“We discussed in detail what kind of support could be provided for Saudi Arabia’s defense and, on the other hand, what could be done to resolve the issue peacefully and through dialogue,” Fidan said.
他表示，沙特阿拉伯采取了“非常建设性的方法”来解决这一问题，与会者有机会在会议期间听取利雅得的立场。
He said Saudi Arabia had taken a “very constructive approach” toward resolving the issue and that participants had an opportunity to hear Riyadh’s position during the meeting.
“我们分享了我们的一些观点，”他说，并补充说，土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安“在这个问题上提出了明确的意愿，作为这种意愿的反映，我们在这里做出了一些决定。”Fidan说，这次特别会议是与先前计划的一次会议同时举行的，这次会议的重点是努力使今年8月达成的联盟协议制度化。
“We shared some of our views,” he said, adding that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has “put forward a clear will on this issue, and as a reflection of that will, we took a number of decisions here.”Work on alliance's institutional structure in final stages Fidan said the extraordinary session was held alongside a previously planned meeting focusing on efforts to institutionalize the alliance agreement, which was reached this August.
他说，关于联盟体制结构的工作已经进入最后阶段，会议讨论了包括秘书处结构和任命新秘书长在内的问题。
He said work on the alliance’s institutional structure had reached its final stages, with the meeting addressing issues including the structure of the secretariat and the appointment of a new secretary-general.

A candidate proposed by Pakistan for the secretary-general post was approved during the meeting, Fidan said, later confirmed as Pakistan’s Nauman Mahmood, a retired lieutenant general, set to serve a three-year term. The participants also discussed technical issues related to the alliance and its future institutional framework.
菲丹说，图尔基耶的国防部长和高级军事官员也出席了会议，并补充说，他们特别为有关军事、行动和技术问题的讨论做出了贡献。
Türkiye’s national defense minister and senior military officials also attended the meeting, Fidan said, adding that they particularly contributed to discussions concerning military, operational, and technical matters.
菲丹表示，会谈的重点是加强麦加防御联盟的机构结构，以及针对沙特阿拉伯和也门当前局势可能采取的措施。他形容这次会议富有成效。
Fidan said the talks focused both on strengthening the institutional structure of the Mecca Defense Alliance and on possible steps that could be taken in response to the current situation involving Saudi Arabia and Yemen. He described the meeting as productive.
