Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan have signed a formal mutual defence pact, state media from both countries said, in a move that significantly strengthens a decades-long security partnership.
“This agreement, which reflects the shared commitment of both nations to enhance their security and to achieve security and peace in the region and the world, aims to develop aspects of defence cooperation between the two countries and strengthen joint deterrence against any aggression. The agreement states that any aggression against either country shall be considered an aggression against both,” a joint statement published on Wednesday said, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Raashid Wali Janjua is a former Brigadier in Pakistan's Army and Director of Research at the Islamabad Policy Research Institute.
He says the situation in the Middle East served as a catalyst for the defence agreement between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
