Pakistan has reaffirmed its commitment to Saudi Arabia’s security, sovereignty and territorial integrity, declaring the protection of the Two Holy Mosques a national priority.
Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry made these remarks during an interview with Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat.
He said Pakistan would provide all necessary defensive support to the Kingdom amid escalating regional tensions and attacks targeting Saudi territory.
Protection of Makkah and Madinah Remains Paramount
Chaudhry described the security of Saudi Arabia and the Two Holy Mosques in Makkah and Madinah as a “top, non-negotiable priority.”
He strongly condemned attacks targeting Saudi airports, cities and civilian infrastructure. He said such incidents threatened the Kingdom’s sovereignty and regional stability.
The military spokesperson added that Pakistan remained prepared to provide military personnel, equipment, training and logistical assistance whenever required for defensive purposes.
Makkah Defence Alliance Moves Towards Implementation
Chaudhry said the Makkah Joint Defence Alliance was entering its practical implementation phase.
The arrangement involves Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye. Its objectives include strengthening collective defence, improving military coordination and sharing intelligence.
He said the participating countries would enhance military preparedness and deploy agreed personnel and capabilities under their joint responsibilities.
However, he clarified that the alliance would focus exclusively on defensive operations.
Pakistan Calls for Regional De-escalation
The DG ISPR also discussed regional tensions and Pakistan’s diplomatic engagement with neighbouring countries.
He referred to a meeting held in Tehran on October 26 involving representatives from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Iran.
According to Chaudhry, the discussions aimed to establish a framework for reducing tensions and improving regional cooperation.
He stressed that further escalation would benefit no country and urged all parties to pursue diplomatic solutions.
Pakistan, he added, would continue supporting Saudi Arabia’s security while working towards regional peace and stability.
