DG ISPR said that no one should have any doubts that the Pakistani people stand by Saudi Arabia. We are ready to defend any aggression against Saudi Arabia, there is a Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement and a Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that promises and commitments under these agreements are being fulfilled, and Pakistan’s political and military leadership is in constant contact with the Saudi leadership.
He said that the Islamabad MoU was reached after Pakistan’s continuous, tireless and very sincere diplomacy. There is only one concrete demand from the Afghan Taliban regime: to stop terrorism from Afghan soil into Pakistan.
