Pakistan Expands Defence Ties with Gulf Nations Amid Regional Tensions
Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir has strengthened military ties with Gulf countries amid regional tensions, deploying troops and air defense systems to Saudi Arabia and signing a defence pact with Kuwait. Pakistan is exploring further agreements with Qatar and Turkiye while seeking foreign investments and energy cooperation. The Saudi-Pakistan mutual defence agreement commits both nations to treat attacks on either as aggression against both, raising concerns about Pakistan's potential involvement in the US-Iran conflict. Talks with Kuwait aim to expand cooperation without troop deployment.
