The meeting in Jeddah came after Pakistan held two-day talks that gathered foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Türkiye to explore ways to de-escalate the U.S.-Israel war on Iran and its repercussions.
Qatar’s Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani attended a high-level trilateral meeting in Jeddah on Monday with Jordan and Saudi Arabia, where leaders emphasised the repercussions of regional escalation on global stability.
The meeting took place at the level of leaders, with Saudi Arabia represented by its Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and Jordan by King Abdullah II.
Qatar’s Amir was accompanied by Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, according to the Amiri Diwan.
The meeting took place following separate discussions between the Saudi Crown Prince and each of the Qatari and Jordanian leaders.
“We emphasised the necessity of coordinating efforts and strengthening joint action to support peaceful solutions and mitigate the repercussions of this phase,” Qatar’s Amir said on X.
The leaders discussed the war’s risks to freedom of international navigation and the security of energy supplies as well as its impact on the global economy. Coordination of joint efforts to enhance regional security and stability was also atop the meeting’s agenda.
The trilateral meeting focused on the repercussions of the ongoing war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, which has entered its second month since it broke out on 28 February.
Iran has since attacked countries in the Middle East, especially in the Gulf region, claiming to target U.S. interests. The attacks were met with global rejection, with regional countries noting that civilian infrastructure has been among Iran’s targets.
“The leaders discussed the efforts being made to contain tensions amid the rapid developments taking place in the region and the continuation of Iranian aggression, and the challenges it poses to regional and international security and stability,” the Amiri Diwan said in a statement.
“The leaders stressed the need to unify efforts and coordinate positions to confront the current challenges in a way that contributes to safeguarding the region’s security and stability,” it added.
The meeting in Jeddah came after Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Türkiye held two days of talks in Islamabad to explore ways to de-escalate the war.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar expressed his country’s readiness to host and facilitate talks between Washington and Tehran.
“Pakistan will be honoured to host and facilitate meaningful talks between the two sides in coming days, for a comprehensive and lasting settlement of the ongoing conflict,” Dar said in a video statement.
