WorldHow will the Mecca agreement become an operational framework?

On August 7, the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye signed a security agreement in Mecca. Their defence and foreign affairs ministers are now working to turn it into an operational framework. The pact says an attack on any one of the three countries will be treated as an attack on all three. Talks in Istanbul focus on coordinating defence production and expanding defence-industry cooperation, but hurdles remain.
