Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey to Sign Trilateral Defence Pact in Jeddah
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are set to sign a trilateral defence pact in Jeddah, aiming to establish an integrated security alliance across the Islamic world. The agreement builds on the existing Saudi-Pakistan mutual defence pact and combines Saudi financial resources, Turkish military technology, and Pakistan's nuclear and operational capabilities. Leaders from the three countries, including Turkish President Erdogan and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, are meeting to finalize the pact, which could reshape security dynamics in West Asia amid regional tensions.
