Military leaders from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye met in Riyadh to discuss intelligence sharing, military coordination and closer cooperation under the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement.
The meeting brought together senior defence officials from the three countries, according to an official account carried by Radio Pakistan. Participants reviewed the regional security situation and threats facing Saudi Arabia, including attacks on its territory and infrastructure.
The discussions focused on coordinating military capabilities, sharing intelligence and strengthening collective defence arrangements. The military leaders reaffirmed their commitment to Saudi Arabia’s security, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The talks represent a further step in putting the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement into practice. Senior commanders discussed how the countries’ armed forces could work more closely together under the framework established by their governments.
Participants condemned attacks targeting the holy city of Makkah and civilian and economic infrastructure. They also praised the response of Saudi armed forces to security threats.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, speaking separately at the United Nations General Assembly, described the defence agreement as a commitment to stability and peace. He said the arrangement was not directed against any country.
The Riyadh meeting centred on coordination rather than the announcement of a troop deployment. The official account outlined discussions on intelligence, operational cooperation and capability integration without naming units or setting a deployment schedule.
For Pakistan, the meeting expands defence engagement with Saudi Arabia and Türkiye and establishes a basis for further military-level consultations under the agreement.
