Pakistan has also called for a military alliance of Arab and Islamic states modelled after Nato amid rising regional tensions
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif signed the agreement in Riyadh on Wednesday, which stipulated that “any aggression against either country shall be considered an act of aggression against both”.
The agreement “aims to develop aspects of defence cooperation between the two countries and strengthen joint deterrence against any aggression”, according to a joint statement issued by Islamabad and Riyadh. It was based on the “historic partnership extending for nearly eight decades” and “shared strategic interests and close defence cooperation” between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
