Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have signed a landmark mutual defense agreement, strengthening their long-standing security ties.
The pact, signed in Riyadh during Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s official visit, reflects both nations’ commitment to regional peace and security.
Under the terms of the agreement, any act of aggression against one country will be considered an act of aggression against both.
This mutual defense commitment enhances cooperation between the two nations and aims to strengthen joint deterrence against external threats.
The pact is part of a broader effort to formalize decades of military and security collaboration between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

During the meeting, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also discussed regional and international developments, emphasizing the importance of maintaining stability in the Middle East.
The timing of the pact is significant, coming amid rising tensions in the region, especially after recent Israeli airstrikes in Doha that allegedly targeted Hamas leaders.
This defense pact is expected to have far-reaching implications, not only strengthening bilateral relations but also shaping security dynamics in the broader Gulf region.
Both countries are committed to working together on defense issues, ensuring mutual security, and contributing to global peace.
