🔶 Notification of Pakistan's willingness to protect Saudi Arabia.
Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry, the spokesman of the Pakistani army, stated in an interview with the newspaper "Al-Sharq Al-Awast" on Wednesday, November 11 (Ivan 20), that Islamabad is ready to take all the necessary measures to protect Riyadh within the framework of the joint defense agreement and the Makkah Treaty.
This Pakistani military official emphasized that the country's commitment and responsibility towards the security of Saudi Arabia is "unquestionable and non-negotiable".
He added that Pakistan will continue to provide whatever support is needed for defense purposes, be it in terms of military personnel, military capabilities, training or logistical assistance.
In an interview with Sharq Al-Awast, Chaudhry revealed that Pakistani forces were previously present in Saudi Arabia and were active in various areas with main missions including defense support, exercises and maneuvers.
He said the move to practical implementation of the Mecca Defense Treaty commitments occurred in the wake of the recent attacks on Saudi Arabia, which caused "deep concern" for Pakistan.
