Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Türkiye have signed a joint defense agreement in Mecca, marking a significant step in regional security cooperation. The pact, signed during a ceremony in Makkah, aims to enhance collective deterrence and treat attacks against one state as attacks against all three (aljazeera.com).
The agreement strengthens security cooperation and includes provisions for joint defense industry projects, with the potential to involve other nations seeking regional stability. The move has been praised as a strategic initiative to counter aggression and promote peace in the region (arabnews.pk).
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has also welcomed the pact, calling it an “important strategic step” that reflects growing collaboration among Muslim-majority nations (dawn.com). The agreement underscores the shared commitment of the three countries to mutual defense and regional security.
