  "summary": "Pakistan has pledged its unconditional commitment to defending Saudi Arabia and the protection of the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, according to Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR). Speaking with Arab News, Chaudhry emphasized that Pakistan is already present to provide support and will go to any extent required by the Saudi leadership and people. The DG ISPR reiterated that Pakistan's bond with Saudi Arabia is deep-rooted, historical, and unbreakable, and Islamabad remains committed to the Makkah Defence Alliance agreement signed with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The agreement stipulates that an armed attack against any one of the three countries will be considered an attack against all three, and the nations will consult and decide on a course of action accordingly.",
