NewzTurkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has announced a new trilateral defence agreement between Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. According to Fidan, the pact functions as a mutual defence mechanism technically equivalent to NATO’s Article 5, which mandates that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all.
The agreement is currently limited to the three founding nations, though Fidan indicated that Egypt could potentially join the pact in the future. The Turkish government has stated that the alliance is intended for mutual security and does not target any specific third party.
