Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have signed a defense agreement, according to which any aggression against either of the countries will be considered aggression against both.

The agreement was signed during the visit of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Riyadh, where he met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This collaboration comes after the escalation of tensions with India, but it does not affect Saudi Arabia's significant trade relations with New Delhi. Additionally, Riyadh has sought to mediate between India and Pakistan, highlighting its diplomatic balance in the region.
