Pakistan’s foreign minister has intensified diplomatic outreach to Gulf and regional partners following the signing of a trilateral defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Türkiye, as regional tensions persist. The move comes after high-level talks with Bahrain’s foreign minister, as well as separate calls with Riyadh and Tehran (arabnews.pk).
The new defense agreement signals a shift in regional alliances, with Pakistan seeking to strengthen ties with Gulf states amid growing geopolitical uncertainty. Analysts note that the pact could reshape security dynamics in the region, particularly as Iran’s influence in the Gulf remains a point of contention.
