The Prime Minister of Pakistan emphasized Islamabad's firm commitment to protect the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of Saudi Arabia within the framework of the Mecca Defense Agreement between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

According to Ambassador Arjan, quoted by Radio Pakistan, the office of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met Noman Mahmood, retired Pakistani lieutenant general and secretary general of the Mecca Defense Pact, on Wednesday in Islamabad.

In this meeting, Sharif considered the Makkah Defense Treaty as a "historic turning point" for peace, unity and stability in the region and emphasized Pakistan's firm commitment to protect the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of Saudi Arabia within the framework of this alliance.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan added that his country stands side by side with Saudi Arabia and fully supports the right of the Riyadh government to defend itself.

On the other hand, Mahmood also presented the desired strategies to strengthen cooperation within the framework of this agreement to the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Sharif, along with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, signed the "Mecca Joint Defense Treaty" last August 7.
