Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey signed a key defence deal called the “Mecca Joint Defence Agreement” on Friday amid the backdrop of the Middle East war. The agreement will deepen cooperation between the three countries at a time of growing security concerns.
A member of Iran’s Parliament and National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has criticised the new defence pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey and said that even though the agreement has been signed, it would not guarantee Riyadh lasting security.
