[00:04:24] Reporting for Pakistan TV, Alamdar
[00:04:28] of Kazmi. You watch the report. Now we have been joined
[00:04:31] by Ayyub Sumber geopolitical
[00:04:34] of analyst to talk further more about this. Welcome to
[00:04:36] of Pakistan TV's transmission. Pakistan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
[00:04:40] and Turkey have signed the Mackay joint defense
[00:04:43] agreement. What is your take on this matter?
[00:04:46] a How do you think this is going to be beneficial for all these three
[00:04:50] countries? Thank you very much for having me. I think yes that is a
[00:04:54] quite historic milestone into the relation between
[00:04:57] of the of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkia. "and
[00:05:00] of I think that that is something that was needed according to the changing
[00:05:04] dynamics, changing dynamics and the political and the
[00:05:08] geopolitical shift in the middle east, so how much it could be the practical and the
[00:05:12] pragma?" " I think that will the time will tell because such
[00:05:15] kind of mean strategical partnerships with quite
[00:05:19] heavyweight military mean that the countries like
[00:05:22] Pakistan and Turkey because the Saudi Reliance and
[00:05:26] more dependence of defense was on the United States
[00:05:30] so but the recent episode and the the war between the
[00:05:34] United States and Iran has quite changed the
[00:05:37] dynamics in the middle east and the Saudies
[00:05:41] reliance on the other. countries, especially on Pakistan and the Turkia, I
[00:05:44] think that is quite meaningful at this time, but if we can go to the
[00:05:48] historical context, so I think that the Turkey and the Saudi
[00:05:52] Arabia, their past if if we go, if we go, if we
[00:05:56] go towards the atoman empire, so I think that that is quite a big
[00:05:59] change, and the the compliance
[00:06:03] and especially the the compatibility of such kind the
[00:06:07] relations are quite changing, but we can see also the other side that Iran
[00:06:11] quite downplay and... also Iran said that such kind
[00:06:15] the deals will not protect Saudi Arabia, so it's mean
[00:06:19] that the Iran existence in the middle east will increase
[00:06:23] and especially the iran proxies that could be a posing
[00:06:26] a quite serious threat to Saudies, I think that is also
[00:06:30] something that could be considerable into the near
[00:06:33] future, we know that Turkish
[00:06:36] president, he talked about this as well
[00:06:40] and he said that this this agreement, it is not
[00:06:44] targeting any country, this aims to strengthen regional
[00:06:48] security and cooperation. this is the same thing that you just mentioned
[00:06:52] in your just as well. now when we talk about not targeting
[00:06:56] any country, it actually is about the strategic
[00:06:59] cooperation between these three countries, can you please elaborate that a
[00:07:03] bit? yeah, sure, i think that was quite meaningful because he mentioned
[00:07:06] categorically that this will not target any country,
[00:07:10] but i think they will also said that they are. welcoming the likeminded countries into
[00:07:14] this alliance and this block, so one thing will be also
[00:07:18] very point to be noted that when such kind the geopolitical
[00:07:22] shifts will go, ultimately that will give new president into the
[00:07:26] middle east and and the rivals things especially those who
[00:07:29] are not into the favor of this block, i think they will also engage
[00:07:33] in such kind the geostrategical and the geopolitical alliances
[00:07:37] and the blocks, but one thing that is also
[00:07:41] very important is this that mostly especially when we see right
[00:07:44] now that the world is going to be a multipolar world
[00:07:48] and in that case even we say that the United States who has such kind
[00:07:52] the alliance and defense pactor they are also very
[00:07:56] hard for the United States to protect such kind the
[00:07:59] partnerships so mostly such kind the partnerships and the alliances
[00:08:03] are symbolic rather than the more practical so they give a
[00:08:07] just like a symbolic presence and a
[00:08:10] symbolic alliance and to make a native into the
[00:08:14] unified blocks that give them leverage and protect them from the
[00:08:18] hostile nation. now these three countries
[00:08:22] would be learning from each other's experiences, they will be
[00:08:26] looking into each other's technological capabilities
[00:08:29] and this is going to be beneficial for all three these as
[00:08:33] well. what do you think each country has to offer in
[00:08:37] this agreement? i think that is a quite mean that
[00:08:41] worse style and the very very comprehensive block, if
[00:08:45] we see that the two heavy weights, I mentioned as first that
[00:08:49] Pakistan
[00:08:49] and the Turkia, they
[00:08:50] are quite heavyweight into
[00:08:51] the militaries, their militaries are one the best militaries into the world, so Saudi
[00:08:55] Arabia, Saudi Arabia is rich oil resources, so have they have a
[00:08:59] plenty the resources and the financial assistance,
[00:09:02] so even even we saw that the previous visit the prime
[00:09:06] minister
[00:09:07] to to Turkia, so Turkey pledge some some
[00:09:10] mous with Pakistan and "they could impact Pakistan
[00:09:14] economically because Pakistan economic vulnerability is something like
[00:09:18] this that
[00:09:19] the two Turkia and Saudi Arabia they could have substantial amount the
[00:09:23] resources that they could help Pakistan
[00:09:24] and similarly Pakistan militarily position and Pakistan
[00:09:28] defense strong mean that the experience
[00:09:32] the comebat experience they could also learn from there so I think that could be
[00:09:36] a give and take and there is a quite impressive model
[00:09:40] the cooperation between the uncised" Islamabad and Raad and I think
[00:09:44] that these all three countries have a strong potential in terms
[00:09:48] of exchange the resources and to becoming very strong defense
[00:09:51] lines and it's also setting a very good president I think into the middle
[00:09:55] easter because right now actually the Muhammad bin
[00:09:58] Salman his vision of setting up a Muslim
[00:10:02] countries Natos I think that is a step forward to that thing if
[00:10:06] we see and Turkey has very good experience the NATO because they are the member the
[00:10:09] NATO and they have quite experience towards the other side
[00:10:13] the Europe, so I think that that could be quite beneficial and
[00:10:17] very mean interesting mean
[00:10:19] alliance, so much Mr. Ayub
[00:10:23] symbol for being a part of. transmission today
[00:10:26] and for sharing your detailed in depth analysis with our views as well. now
[00:10:29] earlier political analyst Jahangir Khatak from New York spoke to
[00:10:33] Pakistan TV and he shared his views on historic Makka defense
[00:10:37] agreement. let's share with you what he said.
[00:10:41] certainly it adds more players to
[00:10:44] the security arrangement that we are seeing. it's
[00:10:48] emerging security arrangement. i don't think this will be or these
[00:10:52] three will be the last countries that will be part of. arrangement
[00:10:55] because Iran war has
[00:10:58] definitely changed lot of ground
[00:11:02] realities, the security environment
[00:11:05] has changed radically and
[00:11:09] certainly it has actually forced many countries in
[00:11:13] the region to recalibrate their own national security
[00:11:17] strategy. In the past, their main stay
[00:11:20] for security umbrella was the United States, but now we see
[00:11:24] that "it may may be Saudi Arabia which is the
[00:11:28] key player or Kuwait or other countries in the
[00:11:31] region, all them are showing interest in different ways in
[00:11:35] engaging with countries like Pakistan, which is the only
[00:11:39] nuclear power in the world which is Muslim
[00:11:42] and also have the battle hearded military, so
[00:11:46] this pact makes it very unique combination of three
[00:11:50] powers that are in the region,
[00:11:54] one being..." rather to being having global implications, all them have,
[00:11:58] but I think Turkey and Pakistan have more global implications
[00:12:02] when it comes to military power, because Saudi
[00:12:06] Arabia is bringing its deep pockets,
[00:12:10] Turkey is bringing its military technology and progres
[00:12:14] and Pakistan is bringing to the table
[00:12:17] its military which is bettle hearted and
[00:12:20] proven itself time and again how
[00:12:24] effectively it can deal with crisis, whether it is at
[00:12:27] home or abroad, even though Pakistan has not played
[00:12:31] any such role an active military
[00:12:35] theater, besides being part the international
[00:12:38] peaceekeepers under the United Nations, but this is a completely
[00:12:42] different game and I think that this gives Pakistan very
[00:12:46] different place, so it has certainly
[00:12:50] advantages for Pakistan, it may have some risks for Pakistan as
[00:12:54] well, so I think... overall if you look at it, it's a landmark agreement and I
[00:12:58] i think that it will have far reaching
[00:13:01] implications and impact on the regional dynamics, the
[00:13:05] economic dynamics, the geostrategic dynamics
[00:13:09] of South Asia as well as the Middle East and
[00:13:13] beyond, because the world at large,
[00:13:16] international economy depends a lot on the
[00:13:19] hydrocarbon resources the middle east region and Saudi Arabia
[00:13:23] being the world's largest. hydrocarbon
[00:13:27] producer and second largest oil
[00:13:30] reserves country, the country which has the second largest oil reserves in the
[00:13:34] world, so so Saudi Arabia being at
[00:13:38] the center of it and it being signed in Mecca, certainly
[00:13:42] all these are very significant, so I think it's a very
[00:13:44] significant development, it's a landmark agreement
[00:13:48] and I don't think these three will be the last, I think there may be other
[00:13:52] countries in the region which may be thinking or
[00:13:56] rethinking their strategy as well when they are
[00:13:59] recalibrating their national security strategy in
[00:14:02] the face of new realities that are
[00:14:06] emerging out the war with
[00:14:09] Iran. Prime Minister of Pakistan
[00:14:13] Shahbaz Sharief described the signing the Makka joint defense agreement
[00:14:16] alongside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish
[00:14:20] President as a historic milestone in
[00:14:23] strengthening cooperation. among the three brotherly nations, the prime
[00:14:27] minister said Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey stand united by
[00:14:31] shared faith, friendship and a common commitment to peace, security
[00:14:35] and stability, he said the landmark agreement signed in the bless
[00:14:39] city of Makka Mukarrama would serve as a symbol of
[00:14:42] unity and cooperation, acting as a shield
[00:14:46] of peace for generations to come by contributing to prosperity for the three
[00:14:50] countries and the fider muslim ummah, the prime minister also expressed
[00:14:54] his deep appreciation for feed marshall sayyad Asir
[00:14:58] acknowledging his tieless efforts, dedication and valuable
[00:15:02] contributions towards advancing this important initiative. he reaffirmed
[00:15:06] Pakistan's commitment to strengthening strategic partnerships with Saudi
[00:15:09] Arabia and Turkey for the shared objectives of peace, stability and
[00:15:13] mutual
[00:15:14] progress.
[00:15:23] Turkish president has said that the Maka joint defense
[00:15:27] agreement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan targets
[00:15:31] no country. He added that agreement remains open to participation of
[00:15:35] other friendly nations seeking peace, prosperity. and stability in
[00:15:38] the region, a post on the Turkish social platform, erdan
[00:15:42] said the agreement based on the principle of collective deterrance would strengthen
[00:15:46] security and defense cooperation, joint defense industry projects and
[00:15:50] counter terrorism efforts. He added that Turkey would maintain
[00:15:54] its principal stands in favor of resolving conflicts and
[00:15:58] crisis to dialogue and diplomacy based on respect for
[00:16:01] international
[00:16:02] law.
[00:16:06] The joint. defense agreement asures new framework for collective
[00:16:10] security among Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The
[00:16:14] agreement strengthens collective deterence by presenting the combined
[00:16:17] strategic weight of all three states as a single
[00:16:21] defensive front. More in this report by correspondent Rana Abdullah.
[00:16:25] Let's take a look. The historic Makka joint
[00:16:29] defense agreement is here. Well, here is the question. What
[00:16:33] happens when three major Muslim states decide that
[00:16:37] this? security of one is the security of all. in Makkka

[00:17:32] an armed attack against any one the three states will
[00:17:36] be regarded. as attack against all
[00:17:39] three. In practical terms, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and
[00:17:43] Turkey will not be standing alone now, but together as an
[00:17:47] iron wall. Any potential aggressor must
[00:17:51] consider the combined strategic weight of all three

[00:20:55] together for a more peaceful and secure
[00:20:58] future.
[00:21:03] The trilateral defense aggrement is being assessed by geopolitical experts
[00:21:07] as major step towards consolidating regional security
[00:21:10] cooperation and strengthening collector defense
[00:21:13] capabilities. Dr. Abdul Aziz, a Saudi foreign
[00:21:17] policy expert and geopolitical analyst said "the pact represents a
[00:21:21] strategic alignment between the three countries aimed at deterring
[00:21:24] aggression and promoting stability rather than pursuing offensive
[00:21:28] objectives. let's share with you what he said. region,
[00:21:32] and I think right now, what we see here with the
[00:21:35] trilateral agreement of or the Mecca
[00:21:38] joint defense agreement is that it is
[00:21:42] crystallization
[00:21:44] of security partnerships and
[00:21:48] security partners ' moving
[00:21:51] forward, I think they all recognize that
[00:21:55] basically Iran is a threat, but also not only
[00:21:58] Iran is a threat, but most importantly, I think this is not a just
[00:22:02] an, this is not an anti
[00:22:05] Iran uh alliance, this is more of
[00:22:09] a cooperation that
[00:22:11] boosts all the respective members of
[00:22:15] this alliance capabilities to defend themselves and
[00:22:19] I think... "this is why well it's very significant, we're going
[00:22:23] to see uh more, we're going to see two things, more
[00:22:27] security partnerships, but also I anticipate we're going to see
[00:22:31] more uh collective presence in the region.
[00:22:34] Turkey and Pakistan are going to play also
[00:22:38] bigger roles in the region and make sure that the security
[00:22:42] vacuum is filled by such partnerships
[00:22:45] and such a force rather than security
[00:22:49] vacuum that is just..." simply filled by spoilers in the
[00:22:52] region
[00:22:53] um and so I think moving forward it's going to be very significant and I think and let me just
[00:22:57] say one more thing about this, I would personally
[00:23:01] suggest this is better thought off as regional approach
[00:23:05] rather than regional architecture, security architecture, because I think
[00:23:09] it's it gives enough leeway
