Dar reiterates Makkah defence pact is ‘defensive in nature, not directed against any country’
Stresses accord not an instrument of confrontation, but expression of collective commitment to peace through strength
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar reaffirmed on Monday that the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, signed by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, is "defensive in nature" and not directed against any specific country. The agreement, which establishes a framework for collective security and defence cooperation, aims to strengthen collective deterrence against external aggression.
Dar emphasized that the pact was not an "instrument of confrontation" but a "reflection of brotherly bonds, shared values, and common commitment to peace, security, and stability" among the three nations.
