00:00:00would get 10 more days, but he has not signed the summary. The summary is lying with him.
00:00:10Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey will consider an attack on one as an attack on all three.
00:00:14Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Saudi Crown Prince
00:00:17Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish
00:00:20And certainly, this agreement President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a joint defense agreement in Mecca.
00:00:24A summit of the three countries for joint defense
00:00:27was held in Qasr al-Safaa in Mecca. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Saudi
00:00:31Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President
00:00:34Recep Tayyip Erdogan met in a cordial atmosphere.
00:00:38The long-standing relations between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan
00:00:42were reviewed. Before the agreement, the leaders
00:00:46of the two countries offered Friday prayers together. Field Marshal Asim Munir
00:00:49and Deputy Prime Minister Sakdar also offered Friday prayers
00:00:53with the heads of state. Special prayers were offered
00:00:57for peace, stability and prosperity in the region.
00:01:01Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met
00:01:04to be seen what will be the nature with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Mecca to discuss the regional situation and strengthening bilateral partnership.
00:01:08Field Marshal Asim Munir and other members of the delegation

00:01:16and Field Marshal Asim Munir performed Umrah and offered Nawafil
00:01:19in the Holy Kaaba with members of the Pakistani
00:01:21delegation.
00:01:29Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan said that
00:01:32the joint defense agreement will help promote regional peace
00:01:36and its positive effects will be felt across the entire
00:01:40region. This agreement will not affect Saudi Arabia's relations
00:01:43with Gulf and Arab countries and other international relations.
00:01:46Saudi Deputy Minister Raed Kermaly
00:01:49said that the joint defense agreement is not an attempt to establish
00:01:53a military axis or a sectarian bloc. Nor is it related to
00:01:57nuclear ambitions or an arms race. Rather, its purpose
00:02:00is to promote capability. Turkey says that the purpose
00:02:04of the joint defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan
00:02:07is not to target any specific country. The Pakistani Foreign Office said
00:02:11that the purpose of the agreement is to strengthen joint defense capability
00:02:15against any aggression. Defense cooperation between Saudi Arabia,
00:02:18they do not believe Turkey and Pakistan will be promoted.
00:02:25Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
00:02:29have united the entire Ummah on one platform.
00:02:32The doors of this agreement are not closed to other countries.
00:02:37skin damage at night. Look, just a In the context of Israel, all Muslim countries should unite.
00:02:39This trilateral agreement is the beginning of the unity
00:02:43of the Islamic world. Mutual differences among Muslim countries
00:02:47should also come to this platform. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign
00:02:50Minister Ishaq Dar said that the trilateral Mecca agreement is an important
00:02:54milestone for promoting strategic cooperation and fraternal relations.
00:02:57This partnership will help promote greater peace, stability and mutual prosperity
00:03:01in the region.
00:03:08President Asif Ali Zardari welcomed the joint defense agreement
00:03:12between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. He said that
00:03:15the historic agreement will strengthen joint defense capability.
00:03:18The role of the Prime Minister and Field Marshal in making
00:03:22this important progress possible is commendable. The agreement is a reflection
00:03:25of the resolve of the three countries for a secure, stable and prosperous
00:03:29future. Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz said that the world has received a message
00:03:32from the holy land of Mecca that the Muslim world is united.
00:03:36The Mecca defense agreement has sealed the unity of the Islamic world.
00:03:40Pakistan will always be a flag-bearer of Muslim unity and collective security
00:03:44at the international level. The defense agreement will not
00:03:47only secure our borders, but will also raise the head of the Muslim
00:03:50Ummah with pride.
00:04:04towards another dispute. Interestingly,
00:04:17Assalam viewers, you are watching Naya Pakistan and I am Shahzad Iqbal.
00:04:20Last year in May, after Pakistan defeated India in a defensive war,
00:04:24Pakistan's geopolitical profile saw an extraordinary increase. Four
00:04:28months after Pakistan's victory, in September 2025, Pakistan
00:04:32and Saudi Arabia signed a joint defense agreement, under which
00:04:35an attack on one country would be considered an attack on the other.
00:04:39But today, Turkey has also joined this historic defense agreement,
00:04:42after which an attack on any one country will be considered
00:04:46an attack on all three. A special ceremony was held
00:04:50in Mecca today to sign this historic agreement. The agreement was signed
00:04:53by Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
00:04:57and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. While the tripartite agreement
00:05:12will be considered an attack on all three countries. The purpose of the agreement is to
00:05:16strengthen joint defense capability against any aggression.
00:05:19As a result of the agreement, defense cooperation between Saudi Arabia,
00:05:23Turkey and Pakistan will be promoted. Pakistan has called this agreement
00:05:27a success for every Pakistani and declared today an important day
00:05:30in Pakistan's history.
00:05:33is not only for Pakistan, but also a clear indication
00:05:37that Muslim countries are now seriously feeling the need for
00:05:41joint security and defense cooperation. While all three countries are currently
00:05:44facing security challenges of various kinds. Saudi Arabia is currently
00:05:48facing attacks from Houthis in Yemen and militias from Iraq,
00:05:51despite the presence of not only Iran but also American military
00:05:55bases. While tensions are increasing between Turkey and Israel
00:05:59after Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza. In Israel, Turkey
00:06:03is called a new Iran. And it is being speculated
00:06:06that Israel's target is Turkey. While Pakistan
00:06:09is also facing internal and external threats, security and economic
00:06:13challenges. Therefore, it remains
00:06:17of cooperation between the three countries in case of aggression
00:06:20against any one country. To discuss this issue, we will be joined
00:06:24by national security expert Mr. Mohammad Ali. Thank you very much for giving us your time.
00:06:27This is big news because earlier we had a defense pact with Saudi Arabia,
00:06:31but now Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey all three have a defense pact
00:06:35and the communiqué that has been issued says that the deterrence against
00:06:38any aggression will be further strengthened and an attack on any one
00:06:42state will be considered an attack on the other country.
00:06:45How important do you see this joint
00:06:49agreement, especially in this atmosphere when we are seeing so much tension
00:06:52in this region? Shahzad, thank you very much. I think this is a very historic
00:06:56agreement. First of all, its timing is obviously very important.
00:07:00The Middle East has been in a very tumultuous situation. There has been instability,
00:07:03conflict, and the trust of the Muslim Ummah
00:07:06in general and our Arab
00:07:09brothers in particular has been severely damaged.
00:07:13So definitely, they have also done a reality check. Secondly,
00:07:17these three countries are the leading and most important countries
00:07:21of the Muslim world. So their collective
00:07:25defense capability is a very
00:07:27historic decision because
00:07:31now these three countries understand that aggression against
00:07:35any one of them will be considered aggression against all three.
00:07:38So the most important thing is that
00:07:49any power, whether it is India, Israel or any other non-state actor,
00:07:53will now have to factor in the combined defense capability
00:07:57of these three countries when considering any aggressive
00:08:00plan against them. So I think this is
00:08:04also a formalization of Pakistan's
00:08:07experience and contribution,
00:08:10not only
00:09:12that he has to advance, he has to aggress. How will they see
00:09:16it? Excellent question, Shahzad. I think, look,
00:09:20after this war, we are seeing the Western world in two different
00:09:23parts. One is America. Which is openly backing Israel
00:09:27in a way. And it also clarified its defense
00:09:30and strategic priorities. That when
00:09:33the Arab countries faced a threat, its priorities
00:09:37were to defend Israel much more than the Arab countries.
00:09:41And perhaps that is why so much progress has been made
00:09:44in this direction. So America's thinking, I definitely
00:09:48think, will also have a big negative impact
00:09:52on its foreign policy in the coming days.
00:09:55The American state will have to bear a long-term loss because
00:09:59of the blow to the trust of its Arab allies and partners
00:10:02due to America's priority towards Israel. Yes,
00:10:06on the other hand, the European countries, since
00:10:10the Trump administration itself put a lot of pressure on them.
00:10:25There was a discussion with the President of France.
00:10:28So I think Europe will also
00:10:32likely be seen shaping its future strategic
00:10:35policy towards the Middle East in a unique way,
00:10:39away from America. This had already started
00:10:42when NATO's approach towards the Middle East
00:10:45regarding the Ukraine war. Now a collective
00:10:49foreign policy seems difficult. Europe will chart a different
00:10:52course. On the other hand, Israel.
00:11:25Pakistan fought a war with India last year, won the war, but that remains
00:11:29an ongoing threat for Pakistan. Saudi Arabia is currently facing
00:11:32a tense situation that we are seeing in this entire region. Saudi Arabia
00:11:36is bearing the brunt of it. Those who follow international
00:11:40affairs must be seeing that Israel is creating the same narrative
00:11:44about Turkey that it used to create about Iran. Such talks have started.
00:11:47So they have their own challenges, security challenges, but this
00:11:51agreement also shows that the threat, the possible threat, is also of a dangerous kind, that's why they are
00:13:25that we can take help from them on these threats or there can be
00:13:29some cooperation. You have raised a very important point. I think,
00:13:33it is a logical thing to advance cooperation
00:13:36in traditional warfare or its capability. But at the same
00:13:40time, I think the Muslim world in general and these three
00:13:43countries in particular have also faced
00:13:46different types of terrorism. And Saudi Arabia is also facing
00:13:49the threat of non-state actors. Turkey has also faced
00:13:53threats from ISIS, etc. Pakistan is facing
00:13:57TTP and BLA. So I think counter-terrorism is a domain
00:14:01in which these three can also combine their experiences and capabilities.
00:14:04And at the same time, I think ideologically, if
00:14:08a leading and credible voice
00:14:11comes from the Saudi religious leadership
00:14:15that emphasizes the value and sanctity
00:14:18of a Muslim's life and discourages
00:14:22Muslims from taking each other's lives,
00:14:26and this ideological reinforcement
00:14:28is provided to Pakistan's counter-terrorism efforts
00:14:32against the existing threat from Afghanistan,
00:14:36then I think our brave armed
00:14:40forces, under the leadership of Marshal
00:14:42Sahib, are making sacrifices and efforts,
00:14:46and they will get ideological
00:14:48legitimacy and international
00:14:51support, which I think can also play a very important
00:15:25bank that gives you 2% cash back on groceries. Can I get cash back on this?
00:15:28Indeed. So like all groceries? Yes, even
00:15:31non-human groceries. Correct. And this?
00:15:34Yep. Oh, yes.
00:15:38And those? Absolutely. This? Did you get that from a
00:15:42supermarket? Yep, then yes. And with all that cash back, you could turn your weekly
00:15:45shop into nifty new boots. Sure, it's your money. Get 2% cash back
00:15:49on groceries, restaurants, everyday transport, and fuel when you spend with

00:15:57says I've been with me through everything, even the
00:16:0190s.
00:16:04Back when we used to find out about the best parties through photocopied fliers.
00:16:08And then chew for hours to get in if we could find
00:16:11them.
00:16:14They were there when outdoor raids moved indoors and
00:16:17subculture became the
00:16:20culture.
00:16:22The music, the people, the
00:16:25unity. They made me who I
00:16:29am.
00:16:31And now, well, the scene's changed, but I wanted to make
00:16:35sure my ears hadn't. So I did the online hearing screener
00:16:39for Specsavers and got a test list. Now I
00:16:42know my hearing can keep up, even if my body's saying, "Should have gone to
00:16:46bed by now."

00:18:04So my friends commented that I was looking so good and asked if I had something done. When I
00:18:07saw the results, I thought, wow. Number Seven, Future & New
00:18:11night serum. Reverse visible signs of
00:19:37This matter seems to be heading
00:19:41the reason for this new dispute is not Bilawal Bhutto Zardari,
00:19:45but President Asif Ali Zardari. Where his constitutional
00:19:48role is seen to be in conflict with the federal government. On
00:19:52July 20 and 21, the Judicial Commission of Pakistan recommended
00:19:55the appointment of 19 additional judges in various.
00:19:59While the recommendation was also made to confirm five judges.
00:20:02In these two meetings of the Judicial Commission, three in Islamabad,
00:20:0510 in Lahore High Court,
00:20:37is the federal government thinking of issuing a notification
00:20:41for the appointment of judges without the approval of the President
00:20:45by taking recourse to Article 48 in this regard? According to journalist Malik
00:20:49Asad's news, Article
00:22:20He is going to form a government in Nazirabad.
00:22:23Actually, the government in Islamabad is also in danger.
00:22:26This countdown has started.
00:22:30It has not been started by the
00:22:32Pakistan Peoples Party. It has been started
00:22:35by their own people. There is no complaint
00:22:39from the Prime Minister. There is a faction
00:22:42that is making the Prime Minister fight with his allies.
00:22:46They themselves fight with the Prime Minister.
00:22:49Actually, the fight is in Islamabad
00:22:52and Lahore. You will see these people
00:22:56who were talking about system collapse, they will be saying
00:23:00so loudly that the Prime Minister will complete
00:23:03his five-year term. As loudly as they are saying it,
00:23:08that it will happen that way. The people of Kashmir should not
00:23:12be sure whether the next three years will
00:23:16remain or not. On one hand, tensions are ongoing between PML-N and PPP,
00:23:19and on the other hand, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has also announced
00:23:23a long march towards Islamabad on September 27. While the very next day
00:23:27after this announcement, that is, yesterday, a senior leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Aamir
00:23:31Dogar, met with the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ayaz Sadiq. After which,
00:23:35Aamir Dogar claimed that Speaker Ayaz Sadiq had invited Pakistan
00:23:38Tehreek-e-Insaf for negotiations. But today, Speaker Ayaz Sadiq
00:23:42denied this. You talked about the Speaker's meeting today
00:23:46and then other things also happened. Yes. The government talks
00:23:49about negotiations. The Prime Minister had invited in the budget session.
00:23:53That was also discussed. As far as political dialogue and negotiations
00:23:56are concerned, I told them that Raja Nasir Abbas Sahib Allama
00:24:00and Mahmud Khan Najakzai Sahib and my other
00:24:03leadership will sit down with them this week and we will review
00:24:07your offer and after that,
00:24:10we, as a political party and Khan Sahib's sisters,
00:24:13will take them all into confidence and move forward.
00:24:17There is no talk of negotiations.
00:24:50for this, Bilawal Bhutto is constantly saying that the government's countdown
00:24:54has begun. Even today, in the address he made at the rally in Azad Kashmir,
00:24:57he said that the government's countdown has begun, but this countdown
00:25:01was not started by the Peoples Party, but by their own people.
00:25:05A part of the Muslim League-N wants the government
00:25:08to fight with its allies. This is a family
00:25:11matter, meaning that the real fight is between
00:25:15Islamabad and Lahore. What is this matter, Dr. Sahib,
00:25:19that the matter with the Peoples Party
00:25:21has now deteriorated so much? Look, the success
00:25:25that Pakistan Muslim League-N has achieved in Azad Jammu
00:25:28and Kashmir is a clear majority and the elections
00:25:32were fair, transparent and very credible. The reaction
00:25:36of the Pakistan Peoples Party after losing the elections
00:25:39in Azad Kashmir is very unpolitical and also very inappropriate.
00:25:42Look, the challenging situation that you see in Azad Kashmir
00:25:46right now, a state of tension where there are non-
00:26:02that there is no truth
00:26:06in the allegations of the Pakistan Peoples Party. Our candidates
00:26:09who contested the elections presented all the
00:26:13evidence that the allegations were made. Candidates
00:26:17are not making allegations. The candidates contesting elections in Azad Kashmir
00:26:20do not have any solid evidence or proof of any rigging.
00:26:24But the leader
00:26:27and the leadership of the Peoples Party,
00:26:31yes, they have taken a political stance
00:26:35against us that there was a lot of rigging there,
00:26:38which is completely contrary to the facts, and since
00:26:41we are allies with them in the center, we have
00:26:45not responded to them beyond a certain limit. We respect
00:26:48our leadership, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Sahib,
00:26:51our Chief Minister. We have great respect for their leadership,
00:26:55but still, Dr. Sahib, you have responded to them.
00:26:58Rana Sanaullah said that they took 3000 billion rupees
00:27:02of corruption to Dubai. Then Nawaz Sharif Sahib himself
00:27:06responded. The only one who refused to answer was Mohsin Naqvi Sahib,
00:27:10to whom Nawaz Sharif Sahib said that he should not answer
00:27:13the Peoples Party. But still, you have responded to your allies.
00:27:16Look, we have responded to those things that I have
00:27:19already mentioned in my discussion, that the facts they presented,
00:27:23the false allegations they made, the misrepresentation
00:27:27they did, we have absolutely told them that
00:27:31there is no truth in them, and they do not have any clear
00:27:34proof of this. There is a forum where if there is any complaint,
00:27:38they should contact them instead of making all the allegations.
00:27:42But tell me, this is correct, isn't it? Because all the discussion
00:27:45that happened, the system has failed, and more provinces should be made.
00:27:49This talk came from within the government itself. Mohsin Naqvi Sahib
00:27:53did it. He is your minister. And secondly, he is saying
00:27:56that it is a fight between Islamabad and Lahore, meaning he wants
00:28:00to say that it is a fight between Shehbaz Sharif Sahib
00:28:04and Maryam Nawaz Sahib. This is what everyone knows,
00:28:08that there is a best working relationship between the center and Punjab.
00:28:12If work is being done in all of Pakistan or in the center,
00:28:16and if you compare provinces, it is being done in Punjab.
00:28:20Hamza Sahib has been doing politics in Punjab all his life.
00:28:23He would have got a position there, he would have done politics
00:28:26there. What is the purpose of bringing him to the Prime Minister
00:28:29House here? Look, the Prime Minister here has
00:28:33a dual responsibility. He is the administrative head, the chief
00:28:37executive of the country. And the other is a political
00:28:41responsibility. Hamza Sahib will assist the Prime Minister
00:28:45here, Inshallah. For example, he is a federal minister,
00:28:49an advisor on political affairs. So looking after political affairs
00:28:52is also very important, and Hamza Sahib is an experienced
00:28:56politician, and he is the best choice. If he sits in Islamabad,
00:28:59I think many of our political matters will run better.
00:29:03Now tell me about the provincial matter, whether PML-N is really
00:29:07going to start an internal debate on it now that there is a need
00:29:10to create more provinces in the country, because you just quoted Rana Sanaullah
00:29:14Sahib, who is also an advisor on political affairs, and he also
00:29:18said that now deliberation on this will begin. So is Nawaz Sharif
00:29:21Sahib going to call a party meeting and formally start
00:29:25a debate on this? Is that the case?
00:29:29Look, Shahzad Sahib, this matter of administrative
00:30:02Its forum is not for individual spokespersons
00:30:06to issue statements, nor for us to present
00:30:09our stance in media talk shows and make it
00:30:13something. Is it true that there are reports of
00:30:17a meeting being called where PML-N will formally begin an internal
00:30:21discussion on this issue? Look, we will definitely
00:30:24do it, and internal discussions do happen, but until
00:30:28all political parties sit together and participate
00:30:32in the political debate I am talking about, and then debate on it,
00:30:36then some positive result will come out, Inshallah. One more thing
00:30:40you must have noticed, this meeting of the Judicial
00:30:44Commission of Pakistan was held on July 20 and 21,
00:30:47and after that, the recommendation for the appointment of 19 additional
00:30:51judges went to the President, who had to return the summary
00:30:55within 15 days or ask for a review, and then the President
