Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have signed a new defence pact in Mecca, formalising cooperation on military training, joint exercises and arms development at a ceremony attended by senior officials from all three countries. The agreement follows months of negotiations focused on co-ordinating defence industries, sharing intelligence and expanding interoperability. It reflects each country’s desire to diversify security partnerships and leverage domestic defence manufacturing capabilities to reduce reliance on traditional western suppliers. Analysts say the pact could reshape regional security dynamics and complicate planning for the US, Europe, Iran and India. Further working groups are expected to detail procurement projects, technology transfers and a potential joint command structure.
