Foreign ministers from Arab and other Muslim-majority countries are set to meet in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to discuss ways to strengthen regional security and stability, according to a post by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs on social media platform X. The ministry said the meeting aims to deepen dialogue and coordination among member states to maintain peace and stability across the region.

The talks come amid rising tensions throughout the Middle East following a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28. In response, Tehran has launched a series of missile and drone strikes targeting Gulf states, Israel, and U.S. installations across the region, creating a growing security crisis. These attacks have frequently disrupted air traffic at major Gulf airports, including those in Dubai and Doha.

Ahead of the meeting, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan held phone discussions with his counterparts from Syria, Algeria, Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates to coordinate positions on the issue.
