Big Brother Comes to Southeast Asia Pakistan’s foreign minister said a new defence agreement his country signed with Saudi Arabia and Turkey was not directed against any country and remained open to other nations in the region.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Sunday the agreement – dubbed the Mecca accord – was “purely defensive in nature” and that other countries could join if they were willing to uphold its principles and resolve differences through peaceful means, adding the deal reflected a shared desire to strengthen strategic security cooperation.
His social media post came a day after Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan similarly said the agreement was not aimed at Iran or any other country.
The agreement stipulates “that any armed attack against any one of the three states shall be regarded as an attack against them all”, according to statements released by the three sides. Dar said in his post the stipulation was consistent with the right of individual and collective self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter.
Pakistan, he said, would continue working with countries across the region towards lasting peace and stability. “The Makkah Accord does not abrogate or replace any existing bilateral or multilateral agreements between these countries, or with other countries or organisations,” he wrote.
