> Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey signed a mutual defence pact on Friday. In a joint statement, the allies said aggression against any one of the three countries would be treated as an attack on all three. The agreement, however, does not clarify whether the parties would be required to take any particular military action in defence of one another.
