Islamabad: Parliamentary Secretary for Information and Broadcasting, Barrister Danyal Chaudhry, has welcomed the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement among Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye. In a statement, he termed it as a major diplomatic and defence milestone for Pakistan.
According to Radio Pakistan, Danyal Chaudhry said the agreement marked the beginning of a new era of unity, trust, and collective security among the three countries. He emphasized that the historic decision taken by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would open new avenues for peace and stability.
The Parliamentary Secretary highlighted the hard work, sincerity, and leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir in playing a key role in making the defence agreement possible. Under the agreement, an armed attack on any one of the three member countries would be considered an attack on all three, ensuring that no member country stands alone in testing times.
Chaudhry noted that Saudi Arabia's strong economy and leadership, Turkiye's advanced defence technology, and Pakistan's experienced armed forces would collectively provide a robust foundation for peace and security. He added that the positive impact of the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement would extend beyond the region, contributing to promoting peace, trust, and mutual cooperation across the world.
