Pakistan Says It Is Ready to Deploy Forces to Saudi Arabia
Military spokesperson Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Pakistani troops already in the kingdom could be joined by agreed forces under the defence pact, but the numbers have not been disclosed.
Military spokesperson Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Pakistan is ready to defend Saudi Arabia under its bilateral defence agreement and the trilateral Makkah Joint Defence Alliance.
Pakistani troops are already stationed in Saudi Arabia for defence, support and training missions, including military exercises.
Chaudhry did not say how many personnel or which capabilities could be deployed, and operational details will not be made public.
The Makkah alliance, signed by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye in August 2026, treats an armed attack on one member as an attack on all three.
The Associated Press reported that Türkiye's parliament has approved the agreement.
