⚡️🇵🇰🇸🇦🇹🇷 — Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that Pakistani forces and “multiple capabilities” are already deployed in Saudi Arabia, with a military presence spanning “for decades.” Citing classification, he declined to disclose specific troop numbers, capabilities, or operational roles under the newly established Mecca Alliance. Chaudhry emphasized that the pact reflects a sustained diplomatic, political, military, and people-to-people relationship among Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye rather than emerging “in a vacuum.” — CNN

➡️ Correspondent Ivan Watson noted that this arrangement represents a significant shift from 2015, when Pakistan’s parliament rejected a Saudi request to join operations against the Houthis in Yemen. Watson highlighted the unprecedented speed of the alliance—formed just two months ago—and stressed that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia had already solidified commitments by signing a mutual defense treaty in 2025.

While existing military cooperation is active, Watson specified that Türkiye would require parliamentary approval for any combat troop deployments. He characterized the alliance's messaging as collective deterrence rooted in an "attack on one is an attack on all" principle, projecting a united front that combines Türkiye’s NATO army, Saudi Arabia’s wealth, and Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.
