Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan to Sign Trilateral Defence Pact Amid Regional Tensions
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan are set to sign a trilateral joint defence pact in Jeddah amid rising tensions in West Asia, particularly the ongoing US-Iran conflict. The agreement builds on a prior Saudi-Pakistan mutual defence pact and aims to enhance regional security cooperation. Leaders including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif are meeting to formalize the pact, which may establish a coordinated military framework among these Muslim-majority nations.
