Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan have signed a new defence pact echoing NATO’s collective security principle. The agreement stipulates a “one for all, all for one” approach to defence, mirroring Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. This means an attack on any one of the three nations will be considered an attack on all. Details of the pact remain limited, but it signifies a deepening of security cooperation between the countries. Analysts suggest the alliance is aimed at addressing regional instabilities and bolstering defence capabilities. The agreement highlights a potential shift in regional power dynamics and a move towards greater self-reliance in security matters. Further information regarding the scope and implementation of the pact is expected to be released soon.
