flag Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a defense pact, linking their security and signaling a shift in regional alliances.

flag Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have signed a strategic mutual defense agreement, pledging to treat aggression against one as aggression against both, marking a major shift in regional security dynamics. flag The pact, formalized during Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to Riyadh in September 2025, establishes permanent military coordination, intelligence sharing, and joint training, with potential for Pakistani forces and nuclear capabilities to support Saudi defense. flag While not a full alliance like NATO, the deal signals a strategic pivot by Saudi Arabia amid growing distrust in U.S. security guarantees and rising regional tensions. flag The agreement follows a $2.8 billion economic package and expands cooperation in digital infrastructure, agriculture, and energy. flag India has expressed concern over the pact’s implications for South Asia’s nuclear balance, while analysts view the alliance as a challenge to Turkey’s regional influence and a potential catalyst for broader Muslim world defense cooperation.
