Saudi Arabia and Pakistan formally commit to bilateral military cooperation through a newly inked mutual defense agreement.
In a significant move aimed at bolstering a decades-long security partnership, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have formalized a mutual defense agreement. The defense pact, the first of its kind between the two nations, marks a deepening of defense cooperation beyond traditional alliances.
Approved by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the agreement underscores the longstanding security ties between the two countries. The agreement reflects the shared commitment of Riyadh and Islamabad to regional stability and global security.
The agreement commits both nations to deepen defense cooperation and maintain joint deterrence against any external aggression. Any aggression against either country shall be considered an aggression against both, according to the Pakistani prime minister's office. However, the agreement does not specify any particular external aggressor.
The move comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the region. The agreement is made with the aim to reinforce a decades-long security partnership and to enhance military coordination and strategic collaboration between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
The details of the agreement were reported by Pakistani state television on Wednesday. The agreement is expected to strengthen the already robust defense ties between the two countries, contributing to regional stability and global security.
This mutual defense agreement is a testament to the strong and enduring relationship between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. It underscores their shared commitment to maintaining peace and security in the region and beyond. The agreement is a significant step towards strengthening the strategic partnership between the two nations and reinforcing their role as pillars of stability in the Middle East and beyond.
