Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have signed a defence cooperation agreement, marking a new chapter in the strategic partnership between the two nations. Officials confirmed that the pact will cover joint military training, intelligence sharing, defence production, and counterterrorism collaboration.

The agreement was signed during high-level talks between defence officials from both countries, with an emphasis on strengthening regional security and enhancing bilateral military ties. According to diplomatic sources, the pact also includes provisions for exchange programs between armed forces and cooperation in advanced defence technologies.

Pakistan’s Defence Ministry hailed the agreement as a “milestone” that will not only boost military readiness but also reaffirm the long-standing brotherly relationship between the two nations. Saudi officials described the pact as a step toward “deepening trust and ensuring regional stability.”

Analysts believe the move underscores both countries’ shared concerns over regional conflicts, maritime security, and evolving geopolitical challenges in the Middle East and South Asia.

The signing of this pact comes at a time when Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are already expanding cooperation in trade, investment, and energy sectors. Experts say this defence agreement further cements the strategic bond that has historically tied Islamabad and Riyadh together.
