  "summary": "Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have agreed to rapidly deploy military forces and capabilities in Saudi Arabia. This decision was made during an emergency meeting of the Strategic-Political and Defence Committee of the Makkah Alliance for Defence. The meeting was held in response to continuing security threats facing the Kingdom.\n\nThe Makkah Pact, signed in August, establishes a framework for collective deterrence. According to the Free Press Journal, it stipulates that an armed attack against any one of the three countries would be regarded as an attack against all.\n\nRetired Pakistani Lieutenant General Nauman Mahmood has been appointed as the Makkah Pact's first secretary-general. He brings over three decades of experience in field command, intelligence, strategic planning, and military education.",
