Pakistan stresses its readiness to defend Saudi Arabia

Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry told the newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that Pakistan’s commitment to Saudi Arabia’s security is non-negotiable. He said Pakistani forces are already present in Saudi Arabia on defense and support missions and to participate in military exercises.


He also explained that implementing the commitments set out in the Mecca Pact includes facilitating the rapid deployment of the agreed-upon forces and military capabilities in Saudi Arabia.


In another part of his remarks, the Pakistani army spokesperson referred to the November 4 meeting in Tehran between representatives of the Mecca Pact member countries and officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He said the meeting was held to prevent tensions from escalating and to expand regional cooperation.


The Mecca Pact was signed by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey. Under its terms, any armed attack against one member country is considered an act of aggression against all three.



The spokesperson for the Pakistani army has announced that Islamabad is prepared to take the necessary measures to ensure the security and defense of Saudi Arabia under the joint defense agreement and the Mecca Pact.
