Pakistan, Qatar, Turkey, and Indonesia have signed a defense cooperation agreement to enhance mutual cooperation in defense production, capabilities, and military exercises. The accord, known as the "Badr Memorandum of Understanding," was signed in Qatar on Wednesday by the foreign ministers of the four nations. Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and Indonesia's Deputy Minister of Defence Yusuf Jauhari were among the signatories.

The Turkish Ministry of Defence, which released the statement, emphasized that the pact would bolster military training, research, and development, as well as joint industrial efforts to advance defense systems. The MoU also aims to strengthen ties between Pakistan and its partners, particularly in light of the Makkah Defence Alliance, where Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia share a commitment to view an attack on one as an attack on all.
