Defense Cooperation Among Islamic Nations

Yes, thank you very much.

Greetings to you and to all the viewers.

Indeed, the timing and the location of the signing both are very

important for the Islamic world.

That is, the location, the location of the signing, indicates the importance that

Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia give to defending our holy sites,

including Al- Quds Al- Sharif.

And also to consolidate defense cooperation.

As the agreement states, this agreement is defensive and not against

any country, but we have the right to defend ourselves and against the

expansionist ambitions of any country in the region, and for the region

to be safe and prosperous for the benefit of the people and the

nations of Turkey,

Saudi Arabia,

and Pakistan.

- Mmh. - Well, Mr. Javed, today how do the deep-

rooted ties of brotherhood and Islamic solidarity and also

shared strategic interests contribute to creating a solid ground to

unite the efforts of the three countries to face security challenges?

Yes, this is very necessary.

The relations between Pakistan,

Turkey, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have been strong relations for a long time.

And this agreement will give momentum to the development of these relations

and consolidate cooperation among all these countries.

Turkey has advanced technology in military industries.

And Pakistan also has a nuclear deterrent.

And Saudi Arabia also wants to

benefit from all these skills.

And the Kingdom is an economic powerhouse.

So if we, meaning all these three countries, go shoulder to shoulder and

hand in hand, this will guarantee the defense of the Islamic world and the

protection of our holy sites against any expansionist ambitions of any country

in the region. - Mmhmm.
