[00:00:00] From tonight, the
[00:00:02] and the defense sector, especially, big buildings are being decorated with the flags of the three countries.
[00:00:06] The nation of Pakistan
[00:00:09] is happy, the nation of Saudi Arabia is happy,
[00:00:14] They used to think, and overall at the leadership level. the people of Turkey are happy, and you can see that yesterday we saw scenes
[00:00:18] that in different cities of Saudi Arabia, especially in Makkah and Jeddah, and
[00:00:22] in Riyadh, the flags of Pakistan,
[00:00:26] Saudi Arabia and Turkey were hoisted. There was a zeal among the people
[00:00:30] that will definitely
[00:00:33] determine the future relations of all three countries,
[00:00:37] will strengthen joint defense,
[00:00:40] will bring new dimensions
[00:00:44] of defense and economic cooperation, and at the same time,
[00:00:48] this cooperation of these three countries
[00:00:51] will also define new paths
[00:00:54] of progress and prosperity. Yes,
[00:00:58] it will also define new paths. Well, Dr. Haroon, I would like to discuss two points with you here, that
[00:01:02] after success in the mark of truth, after giving a tough time to the enemy, and
[00:01:05] then after playing a very important and vital
[00:01:09] role in the US-Iran war, Pakistan achieved historical
[00:01:12] success, gaining a prominent position among nations.
[00:01:16] After that, this is the third important point where
[00:01:19] we are emerging very significantly internationally.
[00:01:22] In this situation, our role
[00:01:26] regarding other countries, because now after this agreement,
[00:02:06] and along with that,
[00:02:14] by making this agreement
[00:02:18] it has been proven that the nation of Pakistan and the
[00:02:21] leadership of Pakistan have the full capacity
[00:02:25] to extricate the world from major problems and they are aware
[00:02:29] of the future needs. Look, at a time
[00:02:32] when the whole world was on the brink of war, the leadership of Pakistan
[00:02:36] continuously worked hard with determination
[00:02:40] and perseverance to pull the world out of the fire
[00:02:43] of war and succeeded in signing
[00:02:46] a document called the Islamabad
[00:02:49] Declaration which
[00:02:53] definitely provided a path and
[00:02:57] roadmap for peace. Today you see that the same roadmap is moving forward,
[00:03:01] through the same roadmap new agreements
[00:03:05] and new frameworks
[00:03:08] achievement in this is are being prepared. The world will always
[00:03:12] acknowledge
[00:03:14] A very strong message interests of this region, that it was the Islamabad
[00:03:17] Declaration that
[00:03:20] saved the world from a major threat and
[00:03:23] found new paths for peace.
[00:03:27] On the other hand, you see that you talked about the mark of truth,
[00:03:31] any other state, so Pakistan not only proved its
[00:03:34] defensive capability,
[00:03:38] but also
[00:03:40] this important agreement. responded to the enemy's aggression in such a way that
[00:03:43] it had to eat dirt
[00:03:46] he intends including Saudi Arabia, and retreated. After that, the whole world
[00:03:50] for peace and stability in the region that are very strong defensively. acknowledged Pakistan's defensive capabilities. You see that after that, our
[00:03:53] defense cooperation
[00:03:57] with various countries of the world
[00:04:00] increased. And
[00:04:03] bilateral relations with various countries
[00:04:06] also progressed in this regard,
[00:04:09] and this cooperation
[00:04:12] also turned into economic cooperation
[00:04:15] and now many countries of the world,
[00:04:19] you see, an agreement has been made with Kuwait, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia already had
[00:04:23] a strategic agreement, now this is a trilateral agreement.
[00:04:27] Other Azerbaijan
[00:04:37] is going on with other countries of the world, so you see, this is the world's trust in Pakistan's leadership and Pakistan's defensive
[00:04:40] capabilities, with which
[00:04:43] these new chapters
[00:04:47] of cooperation are opening. Yes, right.
[00:04:51] this beat, if we talk especially Dr. Haroon, please stay on the line with us. Asad, I would like to turn to you.
[00:04:53] about our eastern neighbor I want to ask you a question that if we generally
[00:04:56] analyze the current ground scenarios,
[00:04:58] about its thinking, India's attempts to infiltrate Pakistan through Fitna-e-Kharaj and also
[00:05:02] the issue of military aggression, the Kashmir point,
[00:05:05] besides that there are various international disputes,
[00:05:08] so our role in this and especially Modi's reality.
[00:05:13] And the extremist agenda of the Indian government and Modi government through which they are misleading the world,
[00:05:16] they are violating UN resolutions,
[00:05:20] they are tearing international laws to shreds. Will they now be seen on the back foot?
[00:05:24] ائیں

[00:05:33] A historic Makkah joint defense agreement has been reached between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
[00:05:37] According to the agreement, an attack on any one country will be considered aggression against all three countries.
[00:05:41] The Prime Minister
[00:06:10] attaches extraordinary importance to this agreement.
[00:06:58] You know that at this time, this joint Makkah
[00:07:02] defense pact has been signed,
[00:07:06] and after that, Pakistan and all these countries are now going to determine their new direction.
[00:07:09] Look, when we talk about Turkey, which is the ninth
[00:07:13] military power in the world,
[00:07:19] its defense budget will be 2.13 trillion,
[00:07:23] and along with that, it is a big country of NATO,
[00:07:26] the biggest country of NATO that has contributed,
[00:07:29] and overall, if we look, at this time
[00:07:33] a country like Saudi Arabia, which is the 19th
[00:07:36] economic power of the world,
[00:07:40] so these three countries with the help of Pakistan, meaning Pakistan, which is
[00:07:43] at this time a country
[00:07:45] with the best armed forces in the world, Pakistan is
[00:07:49] an atomic power, and Pakistan
[00:07:52] is a major stakeholder in this region, so the way this
[00:07:56] joint defense cooperation based
[00:07:59] pact has happened between these three countries, after that, I think that two things have become very important in this region.
[00:08:03] One is the balance of power, which we talk about,
[00:08:07] that is a big important factor in it, and the other
[00:08:11] is that that narrative
[00:08:14] has now been brought to its destination,
[00:08:17] or the main
[00:08:21] that this narrative was that the problems of this region, the strategic
[00:08:26] the stakeholders of this region should decide for them,
[00:08:30] so the time has come that now the countries of this region and this region,
[00:08:33] which are Islamic countries, will now find solutions to their problems,
[00:08:37] not the West, Europe or West, or any kind of
[00:08:41] intervention. So I think this is an
[00:08:44] important pact and it is very important
[00:08:47] because if we talk about Turkey and Pakistan,
[00:08:51] there has been cooperation between them not only in terms of defense, but also our
[00:08:54] joint military exercises, even Saudi Arabia,
[00:08:59] there are two countries
[00:09:02] At this time, there are about four hundred thousand
[00:09:06] troops, and Turkey has three hundred and fifty thousand reserve
[00:09:10] forces. So this means that Pakistan,
[00:09:14] Turkey, and Saudi Arabia will talk about peace in this region. Now,
[00:09:18] this defense pact is about the Holy Sites,
[00:09:21] but yes, it is necessary to say here that
[00:09:25] two countries have been very upset by this, and they will continue to be upset,
[00:09:29] because now the Jerusalem Post and these others,
[00:09:32] Hindustan Times,
[00:09:36] will have many stomach cramps, but we are trying to tell,
[00:09:40] and we have told many times, that this defense pact
[00:09:42] is not against any country, but it is about the Holy Sites,
[00:09:45] which we hold sacred in our hearts.
[00:09:48] It is about that, and it is a defense agreement
[00:09:52] between brotherly Islamic countries under which
[00:09:55] there will be military exercises with each other, there will be
[00:09:58] joint manufacturing with each other. So this is a very big
[00:10:02] day, I think the credit for this goes to Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz
[00:10:06] Sharif and especially our Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir,
[00:10:09] after whose continuous efforts, you see that we are getting such news
[00:10:13] every day, Pakistan is progressing
[00:10:17] on the path of development, that is why India is doing
[00:10:20] foolish acts against them, trying to
[00:10:24] build a false narrative
[00:10:27] against Pakistan's leadership, trying to conspire
[00:10:31] so that Pakistan does not progress and Pakistan cannot make
[00:10:34] its defense more invincible. But this has proved to be a madman's
[00:10:37] dream, and after this defense pact, I say, consider it extraordinary.
[00:10:41] Some people are considering it ordinary,
[00:10:44] it is extraordinary and it is of utmost importance.
[00:10:48] With this, not only will Pakistan's defense be further strengthened,
[00:10:52] Pakistan's identification, Pakistan
[00:11:30] But it will say that for a secure and prosperous future, how do you see this agreement
[00:11:33] in terms of promoting peace, security, and stability at the global level, including the region?
[00:11:37] Look, China has also expressed
[00:11:40] happiness over this, and other countries
[00:11:44] in the region have also. And you have made a very important point
[00:11:47] that this is a major milestone towards the common interests
[00:11:51] of the region, peace, prosperity, economy,
[00:11:55] and economic revolution. So there is only
[00:11:59] one reason that I wanted to put before you that
[00:12:02] such joint
[00:12:04] defense pacts
[00:12:07] are considered a threat by many countries,
[00:12:10] but Pakistan has always had a narrative
[00:12:14] that we want to resolve conflicts
[00:12:17] in the region, we want to bring economic revolution
[00:12:21] to the region, we want to eliminate unemployment
[00:12:25] among the people of the region, and we are also working
[00:12:29] to end conflicts in the region. So this is also a victory for Pakistan's narrative.
[00:12:33] Most importantly, the narrative of Pakistan was that the way
[00:12:36] attempts were being made to isolate Pakistan,
[00:12:40] and the worst diplomatic
[00:12:43] failures were being dreamed of, that Pakistan would be completely
[00:12:47] isolated, but Pakistan at this time
[00:12:50] is a major stakeholder in the whole world,
[00:12:54] and you see that even in the Iran- America conflict,
[00:12:57] the whole world is looking at Pakistan,
[00:13:01] and eyes are on Pakistan as to what Pakistan's narrative is
[00:13:04] in this regard. So I think that in the growing relations
[00:13:08] between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Pakistan has also played
[00:13:11] a key role with China. Pakistan is striving to end
[00:13:15] this 48-year conflict between Iran and America, and is continuing its diplomatic
[00:13:19] efforts. Our military and civil leadership
[00:13:23] are playing their role. So this agreement that has been made, first our
[00:13:27] defense pact with Saudi Arabia, if you remember, after our first
[00:13:30] defense pact, India ran
[00:13:33] to make a defense pact with the UAE, and it went to give
[00:13:36] a message. So this relationship of motherland
[00:13:40] and fatherland is a very big threat
[00:13:44] to global peace, and a very big jolt. So at this time,
[00:13:47] only the fatherland and motherland should think
[00:13:51] that this agreement is not against any country, it is not against
[00:13:56] but it is a joint agreement between Islamic countries. Now NATO
[00:14:00] is formed, there are more than 40 countries, so Turkey is a big
[00:14:04] and important stakeholder in it. The second largest
[00:14:08] NATO partner is Turkey. So if here
[00:14:11] if you give the name of Islamic NATO in this way,
[00:14:15] or any joint defense
[00:14:19] military forces, or whatever you say, this is not against any country, the right
[00:14:23] to self-defense is reserved
[00:14:25] for everyone in the whole world, and this is according to the UN charter. So I think
[00:14:29] that in strict accordance with international laws,
[00:14:32] in strict accordance with international principles, then a society
[00:14:36] that is associated with peace, brotherhood, neighborhood, and especially
[00:14:40] Islamic teachings, is further increasing its closeness. So no one
[00:14:43] should be troubled by this, nor should anyone have stomach cramps. This is of utmost
[00:14:47] importance. I think that there should be no hypocrisy
[00:14:51] in this with any political party or with any ideologies,
[00:14:55] but if we talk about collective interests, then our interest is
[00:14:58] Pakistan's development. So these people
[00:15:01] who are running here and there on social media today, they are just trying
[00:15:05] to run in an empty field. They should further endorse
[00:15:09] Pakistan's success, they should share
[00:15:12] Pakistan's success on their social media,
[00:15:16] on their Twitter handle, on their social media posts,
[00:15:20] so that Pakistan's name shines brighter, and
[00:15:24] some elements are making such attempts.
[00:15:39] has been harmonized with a new dimension.
[00:15:43] The leadership of these three countries is celebrating
[00:15:47] it at the public level
[00:15:50] How do you view this big agreement, this big day?
[00:15:54] اس بڑے دن کو
[00:15:57] Yes, Manazer, August 7, 2026,
[00:16:01] is one of the most memorable days in the history of the world
[00:16:04] and especially in Muslim history,
[00:16:07] when once again Pakistan,
[00:16:11] Saudi Arabia, and Turkey
[00:16:14] have come together for the protection of the Holy Sites,
[00:16:18] a declaration of unity, one Quran, one Prophet,
[00:16:22] the Seal of the Prophets, peace be upon him, and one God.
[00:16:25] And most importantly, this historic
[00:16:28] defense agreement has taken place
[00:16:32] in the holy precincts of the Kaaba, with the testimony
[00:16:36] of the Kaaba. And I believe
[00:16:40] that this Makkah defense agreement,
[00:16:43] which is a joint defense agreement,
[00:16:47] brings a message of peace for the whole world,
[00:16:50] and Pakistan has once again
[00:16:53] played its extremely important key role
[00:16:57] in this historic agreement, adopting the same
[00:17:00] attitude and the same principle that
[00:17:03] is a fundamental component of Pakistan's foreign
[00:17:07] policy, that we believe in resolving
[00:17:10] problems through the power of reason. Pakistan has
[00:17:13] always preferred peace over war,
[00:17:16] and Pakistan's efforts for peace have always
[00:17:20] been to adopt the path of table talk, not the path of the battlefield.
[00:17:24] So I believe that this
[00:17:26] historic defense agreement, which
[00:17:30] we have named after the highest-ranking
[00:17:34] city in the world, Makkah Al-Mukarramah,
[00:17:38] this agreement is a great diplomatic success for Pakistan,
[00:17:41] a symbol of Muslim brotherhood,
[00:17:44] and once again Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey
[00:17:48] have proven
[00:17:51] that if there is will, if you have good
[00:17:55] intentions, then problems can be solved through
[00:17:58] negotiations. And I believe
[00:18:01] that Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, our Deputy Prime Minister Muhammad
[00:18:05] Ishaq Dar, and the most important
[00:18:08] personality, Chief of Defense Forces Field Marshal Syed Asif
[00:18:12] Munir, have played a key role in this historic
[00:18:15] agreement. Yes, Manazir. Yes. Well, Rana Shehzad, please tell us that messages
[00:18:19] of goodwill are also coming from various countries, and Bahrain
[00:18:23] has also greatly welcomed the signing of the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement
[00:18:26] between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey. And along with that, the Ministry
[00:18:30] of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain has highlighted
[00:18:33] the splendid defense capabilities and military expertise of the three countries. How do you see
[00:18:41] this? The big thing is that OIC, which is the largest
[00:18:44] organization in the world after the UN, has 52 Muslim
[00:18:48] countries as its members.
[00:18:52] has come from its Secretary General
[00:18:54] on this historic agreement. In his message,
[00:18:58] the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation,
[00:19:01] Hussein Ibrahim Taha, said that the Makkah
[00:19:04] Defense Agreement between Saudi Arabia,
[00:19:08] Pakistan, and Turkey is not only
[00:19:12] do we appreciate this important strategic step, but we also fully support
[00:19:17] In his message, the OIC Secretary General
[00:19:21] said that
[00:19:24] that this agreement is of key importance
[00:19:28] and the Islamic world. This agreement forms
[00:19:32] a fundamental pillar for supporting security and stability in the region
[00:19:35] and the entire Muslim world. Besides that, as you just
[00:19:39] mentioned, from Bahrain, the statement issued
[00:19:43] by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain
[00:19:46] is very splendid. In its goodwill
[00:19:50] statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bahrain
[00:19:54] said that the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement
[00:19:58] is not against a wide alliance, but this
[00:20:01] agreement is broad-based, more countries can join
[00:20:04] it who are like-minded, and this agreement
[00:20:08] is for peace and for stability in the region.
[00:20:12] And in this regard, I believe that the leadership
[00:20:15] of Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia has demonstrated such a great vision
[00:20:19] that this is an exemplary example
[00:20:23] for everyone. Yes, Mill. Yes. Well, Rana Shehzad, please tell us that since you also cover
[00:20:30] and then about its extremism and aggression and terrorist agenda,
[00:20:35] then in many things, on the issue, various
[00:20:39] international problems have been complicated by India. Will accountability
[00:20:43] be seen after this step?
[00:20:45] Look, ever since this agreement was made yesterday,
[00:20:49] there has been a mourning among the enemies of Islam
[00:20:52] and the enemies of Pakistan, and those who wish Pakistan well
[00:20:56] are, I would say,
[00:20:59] completely stunned that what has happened.
[00:21:04] look, Modi has been propagating
[00:21:07] for about 14 or 15 years,
[00:21:10] from 2012 till today, that we have isolated
[00:21:14] Pakistan diplomatically. But Pakistan's
[00:21:18] aggressive approach on the diplomatic front,
[00:21:22] I will give you some recent examples
[00:21:24] of how Pakistan Islamabad
[00:21:28] successfully hosted the SCO summit.
[00:21:32] This was a very big success.
[00:21:35] Besides that, just recently we successfully
[00:21:38] organized a very big three-day
[00:21:42] OIC women's ministerial conference
[00:21:45] in Islamabad. So this is another big
[00:21:49] milestone in Pakistan's diplomatic
[00:21:53] efforts. After 47 years,
[00:21:55] Pakistan was also honored to bring
[00:21:59] the two warring forces, America and Iran,
[00:22:02] to the table for talks. And I believe
[00:22:05] that this success
[00:22:09] that was achieved yesterday, this Makkah Defense
[00:22:12] Agreement, has greatly increased
[00:22:16] Pakistan's diplomatic stature. And I pray
[00:22:20] to Almighty Allah that this message
[00:22:23] of Muslim brotherhood, fraternity,
[00:22:27] love, and unity that has gone out,
[00:22:30] may Allah protect it from evil eye. May Allah protect it from evil eye.
[00:22:33] Amen. Thank you very much, Rana Shehzad, for updating
[00:22:37] us in detail. The Makkah Joint Defense Agreement
[00:22:41] has been reached between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. According to the agreement,
[00:22:44] an attack on any one of the three countries will be considered an attack on all.
