[00:17:49] Asad, please inform us, this
[00:17:52] Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has been of great importance and has received significant
[00:17:56] coverage in the international media. In this regard, please tell us
[00:18:00] that after the completion of this visit, the Prime Minister has returned home. How do
[00:18:04] you view this visit? Yes,
[00:18:06] this visit
[00:18:10] and particularly another golden chapter
[00:18:14] in the history of Pakistan. Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz
[00:18:17] Sharif, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister
[00:18:21] Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Turkish
[00:18:24] President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan signed
[00:18:28] the Mecca Defense Agreement and sent
[00:18:31] a message of peace, security, stability, and a resolve
[00:18:34] for peace and
[00:18:37] security in the region
[00:18:41] to the world. This
[00:18:43] visit of the Prime Minister was
[00:18:47] of great importance
[00:18:50] and the three brotherly
[00:18:53] countries, who have long-standing relations,
[00:18:57] have now
[00:18:59] joined a defense agreement,
[00:19:03] and the basic points of this defense
[00:19:07] agreement are that an attack on any of the three countries
[00:19:11] will be considered an attack on both countries, and both countries
[00:19:14] will strengthen cooperation in the defense sector. Along
[00:19:17] with this, the collective
[00:19:21] efforts will strengthen the defense capability.
[00:19:25] This is an extremely important
[00:19:28] development, and particularly in the context of the changing
[00:19:31] situation in the region, Pakistan,
[00:19:34] Saudi Arabia, and Turkey entering into a defense
[00:19:38] agreement is an extremely
[00:19:42] it is not only for the peace
[00:19:46] and stability of the region but
[00:19:50] also for the world. It is an important step.
[00:19:53] Pakistan has deep brotherly relations with Saudi Arabia,
[00:19:57] and Saudi Arabia has always supported Pakistan
[00:20:00] in difficult times. Pakistan and Saudi
[00:20:03] Arabia signed a defense agreement in September
[00:20:06] last year, under which both countries
[00:20:09] started a partnership
[00:20:12] other.
[00:20:15] Along with this, Pakistan and Turkey
[00:20:18] also have a long-standing relationship,
[00:20:22] and in every difficult time, both countries have always
[00:20:26] supported each other. And at a time
[00:20:30] when Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and
[00:20:32] Turkey have concluded a defense
[00:20:36] agreement, this has certainly
[00:20:39] come to the fore as big news for the world,
[00:20:43] and especially among the Muslim Ummah, a new hope
[00:20:46] and a wave of happiness has spread.
[00:20:50] Pakistan's recent role,
[00:20:53] especially in the last year, if you look
[00:20:57] at it, there have been extremely important events
[00:21:00] in Pakistan's history, and especially
[00:21:04] the way Pakistan has emerged
[00:21:07] on the international stage, it is certainly a matter of pride
[00:21:11] for the entire nation.
[00:21:14] the way Pakistan inflicted
[00:21:18] a humiliating defeat
[00:21:20] on India, and after that, it made
[00:21:24] the world realize that Pakistan
[00:21:28] is a strong force in terms of defense,
[00:21:31] a strong force. At the same time,
[00:21:34] this year, Pakistan signed a defense
[00:21:38] and then Pakistan's role
[00:21:42] as a mediator in the Iran-America war
[00:21:45] made Pakistan emerge as a champion
[00:21:48] of peace in the world, and not only Pakistan's
[00:21:52] leadership, including Prime Minister
[00:21:55] Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif and especially
[00:21:58] General Asim Munir, under whose leadership Pakistan
[00:22:02] played its role in
[00:22:05] overcoming this big challenge
[00:22:09] as a mediator, which was also
[00:22:12] a source of satisfaction for the world,
[00:22:16] and the way it helped the world, which was facing
[00:22:20] difficulties, to overcome those difficulties,
[00:22:24] and even now, Pakistan is continuing
[00:22:27] to play its role. Recently, the Prime Minister
[00:22:31] Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif's visit to Saudi Arabia
[00:22:35] and the defense agreement between Pakistan, Saudi
[00:22:38] Arabia, and Turkey is certainly
[00:22:42] a cause of great joy for the entire nation
[00:22:45] and the Muslim Ummah. It is a source of great happiness. Okay.
[00:23:20] role. Especially, all the Gulf countries,
[00:23:23] Pakistan has always had a close relationship
[00:23:26] with all of them. Whether it's fulfilling energy needs or
[00:23:30] Pakistan's workforce, Saudi
[00:23:34] Arabia currently has the largest number of people. So,
[00:23:40] with Saudi Arabia. Similarly, due to
[00:23:44] the holy places, the Pakistani nation
[00:23:47] has a relationship of respect with Saudi Arabia.
[00:23:50] And in this regard, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
[00:23:54] have a long-standing relationship
[00:23:57] that has been going on for a long time. And in every difficult
[00:24:00] time, both countries have supported each other,
[00:24:04] and especially, Saudi Arabia has played a key role
[00:24:08] in helping Pakistan overcome its economic
[00:24:11] challenges. Pakistan signed a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia
[00:24:15] last year, and
[00:24:18] a new era
[00:24:20] began in the relations between the two countries.
[00:24:24] Both countries are now strategic
[00:24:28] partners, and Saudi Arabia is also making large-scale
[00:24:31] investments in Pakistan, especially in the sector
[00:24:34] of agriculture, IT,
[00:24:38] and energy. Refineries are being
[00:24:41] built here. Similarly, in
[00:24:44] matters of Gwadar and CPEC,
[00:24:47] Saudi Arabia
[00:24:50] is playing its role,
[00:24:53] and Pakistan's effort is
[00:24:58] investors come to Pakistan and start
[00:25:02] large projects here. Along with this,
[00:25:05] Turkey is a long-standing
[00:25:08] friend of Pakistan, and there is close
[00:25:12] cooperation between the two countries in various sectors,
[00:25:16] especially in the defense sector.
[00:25:19] Turkey is also a member of NATO,
[00:25:22] and besides that,
[00:25:25] it is also a strong country economically
[00:25:29] and holds its own position
[00:25:32] in the world. Among the three
[00:25:35] countries, Turkey is a strong country in terms
[00:25:38] of its defense industry and economic power.
[00:25:42] The way Pakistan has achieved
[00:25:46] a position in the world as a champion
[00:25:49] of peace, as a mediator in the Battle of Truth,
[00:25:52] is certainly a great
[00:25:55] achievement, and
[00:25:59] it is very encouraging. Similarly, the agreement
[00:26:02] between Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia is certainly
[00:26:06] a big achievement
[00:26:09] for the world, and these three countries
[00:26:12] have emerged on the international
[00:26:15] stage, and
[00:26:17] the world is now paying attention
[00:26:21] to these countries. Along with this,
[00:26:25] Pakistan's role
[00:26:28] as a mediator in the Iran-America war
[00:26:31] also had
[00:26:35] a positive and constructive
[00:26:38] role for Pakistan. Especially the way
[00:26:41] matters have been resolved through diplomacy,
[00:26:44] it certainly had
[00:26:48] very positive effects
[00:26:51] on Pakistan. Please stay with us, Dr. Haroon Ilahi
[00:26:54] Toor, Director Pakistan Television News, has joined us
[00:26:58] and will begin the discussion regarding the historic Mecca Joint Defense Agreement.
[00:27:01] Dr. Haroon, Assalam-o-Alaikum. We welcome you to this transmission.
[00:27:05] Undoubtedly, this is an extraordinary
[00:27:09] and major agreement. From a defense perspective, it is a very important move. At
[00:27:13] the international level, international affairs experts see the future
[00:27:16] of these three countries as adapting to the challenges of the future
[00:27:19] in accordance with defense requirements. What is your opinion on this,
[00:27:23] how do you view this agreement and also the expert opinion of international
[00:27:27] relations regarding the future challenges? What are your comments on
[00:27:30] this? Yes, absolutely.
[00:27:34] Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif's important visit has been completed,
[00:27:38] and during
[00:27:40] this visit, a major development
[00:27:43] has occurred. A historic agreement
[00:27:47] has been reached between three major Islamic countries,
[00:27:50] a defense agreement. And this agreement
[00:27:54] was particularly made in the Holy Haram
[00:27:57] area,
[00:28:00] that three major Muslim countries of the world,
[00:28:04] who also lead
[00:28:07] are united for common defense,
[00:28:11] and the enemy of one will now be the enemy
[00:28:14] of the other. Especially, if we talk about
[00:28:18] this agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey,
[00:28:21] it is also very important regarding the situation in the region,
[00:28:25] regarding the challenges facing the region,
[00:28:29] and especially regarding new avenues
[00:28:32] of cooperation among the Islamic world.
[00:28:36] This is a very important agreement that
[00:28:39] has been reached between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
[00:28:43] The leaders of the three
[00:28:46] their commitment that if one country
[00:28:50] is attacked, it will be considered
[00:28:53] an attack on other countries as well. This is
[00:28:56] a very important development. If we talk about Pakistan,
[00:28:59] you will see that the long-term results
[00:29:03] will come out. Our enemy,
[00:29:06] India, there is a big
[00:29:10] discussion there that if Pakistan has this big
[00:29:14] agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey,
[00:29:17] what will be its effects on India? In fact,
[00:29:21] India's Foreign Office
[00:29:24] also had to issue a statement in this regard
[00:29:28] that they are monitoring it. So, I believe that
[00:29:31] regarding Pakistan's defense, Saudi Arabia's defense,
[00:29:35] and Turkey's defense, and then regarding defense
[00:29:38] cooperation, regarding bilateral
[00:29:41] cooperation, this is a very important agreement. After a successful visit,
[00:29:45] Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif is returning
[00:29:49] to Pakistan. In this regard, the Government of Pakistan
[00:29:52] is also organizing large-scale celebrations.
[00:29:56] From today, from tonight,
[00:29:58] the major thoroughfares are being
[00:30:03] decorated with the flags of the three countries.
[00:30:06] The people of Pakistan are happy, the people of Saudi
[00:30:10] Arabia are happy, the people of Turkey are happy, and you will see that
[00:30:13] yesterday we saw scenes where in various
[00:30:18] especially in Mecca, Jeddah, and Riyadh, the flags
[00:30:22] of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey were hoisted.
[00:30:25] There was a lot of enthusiasm among the public,
[00:30:28] which will certainly
[00:30:31] determine the future relations of all three,
[00:30:35] strengthen joint defense, bring new avenues
[00:30:39] of defense and economic cooperation, and
[00:30:42] along with that, this cooperation
[00:30:45] among these three countries will also pave
[00:30:49] new paths for progress
[00:30:52] and prosperity. Yes, this will pave
[00:30:56] new paths. Okay, Dr. Haroon, I would like to discuss two points with you here.
