Saudi defence minister Khalid bin Salman met Pakistan's army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir to discuss Iranian attacks on the Gulf nation amid retaliation against US-Israeli strikes in the region.
Since the conflict began following a wave of US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, Tehran has launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and several Gulf nations in retaliation.
Saudi Arabia intercepted a ballistic missile that had been launched towards Prince Sultan Air Base, located southeast of the capital Riyadh and houses US military personnel.
The defence minister also said discussions covered steps to end the war under the “Joint Strategic Defense Agreement” signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
The agreement, signed in September last year, is based on the “historic partnership” between the two countries and their “shared strategic interests and close defence cooperation”.
