Foreign ministers of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Egypt will hold an important Quad meeting on April 17, 2026, in Antalya, Türkiye. The meeting will take place on the sidelines of the 5th Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF 2026).
This will be the third such quadrilateral meeting in recent weeks. The four countries aim to discuss ways to de-escalate tensions between the United States and Iran, support the fragile ceasefire, and promote peace and stability in the Middle East.
The gathering comes shortly after senior officials from the four nations met in Islamabad on April 14 to prepare for the Antalya talks. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Turkiye’s Hakan Fidan, and Egypt’s Badr Abdelatty are expected to attend.
President Asif Ali Zardari recently praised Pakistan’s active role in hosting the earlier US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif briefed the President on the progress of these diplomatic efforts and Pakistan’s contribution to regional peace.
The four countries share common goals of peace, security, and economic cooperation. They are expected to explore practical steps to prevent further escalation and support a lasting ceasefire before the current truce expires on April 22.
The Antalya Diplomacy Forum, running from April 17 to 19 under the theme “Mapping Tomorrow, Managing Uncertainties,” will bring together world leaders, ministers, and diplomats from over 150 countries.
This Quad meeting highlights the growing diplomatic coordination among these four influential Muslim-majority nations at a critical time.
