Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have signed a wide-ranging joint defence pact amid growing tensions in The Gulf, according to statements from the Pakistani Foreign Ministry and the Saudi state news agency SPA released on Friday.
The Mecca Joint Defence Agreement was concluded at a summit of the three countries' leaders in the Saudi holy city of Mecca, the statements said.
Any armed attack on one of the three states would be considered an attack on all three alliance partners, according to the statements.
The agreement was described as an expression of the three countries' commitment to strengthening their shared security interests. No further details about the contents of the pact were disclosed.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have been linked by a joint defence agreement since September 2025.
On Friday morning, Saudi Arabia reported casualties from an overnight attack by Yemen's Houthi militia on the kingdom.
According to media reports, Saudi Arabia is preparing for further coordinated attacks by Iraqi militias and the Houthis. Both groups are considered allies of Iran.
