Turkey’s Foreign Minister: Defence Pact with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia Mirrors NATO Article 5
The new trilateral defence agreement will include a collective defence clause comparable to NATO’s Article 5 and set up a ministerial committee and general secretariat.
Turkish Foreign Minister described the recently announced defence pact between Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia as functionally equivalent to NATO's mutual defence provision.
The agreement is expected to feature a committee of ministers and a permanent general secretariat, mirroring the institutional structure of the Atlantic alliance.
Details on operational scope and force commitments have yet to be disclosed.
