Pakistan-Saudi-Turkiye defense deal in pipeline, Pakistani minister says

ISLAMABAD/ISTANBUL: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye have prepared a draft defense agreement after nearly a year of talks, Pakistan’s Minister for Defense Production said, a signal they could be seeking a bulwark against a flare-up of regional violence in the last two years. Raza Hayat Harraj told Reuters on Wednesday the potential deal between ‌the three regional ‌powers was separate from a bilateral ‌Saudi-Pakistani ⁠accord ​announced ‌last year. A final consensus between the three states is needed to complete the deal, he said.
