Turkey Seeks Parliament Approval for Mecca Joint Defense Agreement with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia

The Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, which was signed between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia in the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia on August 7, has now been presented by Turkey for the approval of its parliament. After this development, for the first time, the draft of this joint defense agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey has come in front of the world. According to Section 1 of the Joint Defense Pact signed between Pakistan, Saudi and Turkey, the three countries will help protect each other's independence, sovereignty and internationally recognized borders. If there is any threat to the independence, sovereignty and internationally recognized borders of any country, the other two countries will use every possible means. It is to be noted that the'Internationally Recognized Borders'in the agreement is written in Section 1 and because Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Gilgit-Baltistan is not recognized internationally and is never considered a disputed border between India and Gilgit-Baltistan.
