Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, And Pakistan Form New Defence Alliance
Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan have signed a joint defence agreement, aiming to strengthen collective deterrence and expand cooperation across all areas of defence. The pact, signed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, brings together the three countries’ unique capabilities. The agreement may increase Turkiye’s value to Washington and create new opportunities for defence industry cooperation. The full implications of the pact remain to be seen, but it is likely to have significant effects on regional defence dynamics. This development was reported by TurDef.
