Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan sign mutual defence pact
The three countries agreed that an attack on one would be treated as an attack on all, according to Pakistan, as tensions in the region remain high.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have signed a defence pact that says an assault on any one of them will be treated as an attack on all, Pakistan said on Thursday. The agreement was announced as conflict and instability continue to ripple across the Middle East.
Pakistan described the arrangement as a mutual security commitment among the three states. The deal was presented as a response to the regional environment rather than as a standalone military alliance.
The pact brings together three countries with significant strategic roles in the wider Muslim world and across Asia. It also adds a new layer to security cooperation at a time when governments in the region are watching for spillover from nearby conflicts.
The announcement came from Pakistan and was reported by international media outlets including the BBC and Al Jazeera. No further operational details of the agreement were immediately provided.
