The pact built on a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tribune.com.pk\/story\/2567521\/pakistan-ksa-sign-defence-pact\">Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement<\/a>&nbsp;signed by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in September 2025, which contained a similar mutual-defence commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a post on X, Dar said the agreement\u2019s \u201csole purpose\u201d was to strengthen ongoing efforts towards \u201cpeace, stability and prosperity\u201d in the wider region.&nbsp;He described&nbsp;the Makkah Accord as a reflection of the \u201cdepth of the brotherly relations\u201d between the leaderships and peoples of the three countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the agreement was the culmination of \u201cyears of discussions and coordination\u201d, driven by a shared desire to strengthen strategic cooperation in addressing \u201cmultifarious peace and security challenges\u201d and advancing regional peace, stability and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dar stressed that the accord did not \u201cabrogate or replace\u201d any existing bilateral or multilateral agreements between the three countries, or their agreements with other countries or organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the agreement, \u201cany external armed attack on any one of the three countries will be considered as an attack on all\u201d, consistent with the inherent right of individual and collective self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foreign minister said the accord remained open to other countries in the region willing to uphold its \u201cfundamental principles\u201d and resolve differences through \u201cmutual respect, cooperation and peaceful means\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the agreement was consistent with Pakistan\u2019s \u201cfundamental pillars\u201d of foreign policy and reaffirmed Islamabad\u2019s commitment to working with \u201call brotherly countries in the region\u201d towards lasting peace and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe remain committed to advancing the cause of peaceful resolution of all conflicts and building a more secure, stable and prosperous future for our peoples,\u201d Dar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday that President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan wanted the framework to expand beyond the three founding members, with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tribune.com.pk\/story\/2622900\/egypt-likely-to-join-makkah-pact-says-turkish-fm\">Egypt among the potential countries<\/a>&nbsp;that could join once certain technical matters were resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that a ministerial committee and a general secretariat based in Saudi Arabia were also planned, with operational details to be worked out at the committee\u2019s first meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Significance of the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Makkah Joint Defence Agreement was the latest step in longstanding military and strategic cooperation between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and T\u00fcrkiye. Signed in Makkah, the pact established a framework for collective deterrence and stipulated that an armed attack on any one of the three countries would be considered an attack on all three, while providing for wider cooperation across defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement followed nearly a year of negotiations and came amid heightened instability across the Middle East. T\u00fcrkiye and Pakistan had sought closer regional security cooperation, while Saudi Arabia had faced growing security concerns as conflicts spread across the region, threatening its territory, energy infrastructure and ambitious economic development plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, the trilateral pact built on their Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement signed in September 2025. That agreement stated that \u201cany aggression against either country shall be considered an aggression against both\u201d and committed the two sides to strengthening defence cooperation and joint deterrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three countries already had extensive military links. Pakistan had provided training and technical assistance to Saudi forces for decades, while Islamabad and Ankara had maintained close defence ties through military training, naval cooperation and defence equipment. In 2023, Saudi Arabia agreed to purchase Turkish drones in what Ankara described as its largest defence export contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan had also expanded its military and security cooperation with the kingdom, deploying about 8,000 troops, fighter jets, drones and an air-defence system to Saudi Arabia, according to&nbsp;<em>Reuters<\/em>.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/tribune.com.pk\/story\/2602216\/pakistan-deploys-troops-to-saudi-air-base-under-defence-pact?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\">Pakistan deploys troops to Saudi air base under defence pact<\/a>&nbsp;Islamabad had also been pursuing wider security and economic ties in the Gulf, including negotiations with Kuwait on an expanded cooperation pact linked to energy and investment.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/tribune.com.pk\/story\/2620901\/pakistan-kuwait-agree-to-boost-cooperation-across-key-sectors?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\">Pakistan-Kuwait agree to boost cooperation across key sectors<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing in Makkah, Islam\u2019s holiest city, added symbolic weight to an agreement that brought together three countries with significant military and strategic capabilities. It also came as Pakistan sought to avoid becoming directly involved in the Iran conflict, instead pursuing diplomatic efforts to mediate, while strengthening its broader regional security partnerships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Sunday that the&nbsp;Makkah Joint Defence Agreement&nbsp;with Saudi Arabia and Turkiye was \u201cpurely defensive in nature\u201d and was \u201cnot targeted against&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[2590,35],"class_list":["post-6321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-pak-saudi-turkey-defence-agreement","tag-pakistan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
