FO says Pakistan-Saudi strategic defense pact isn’t against any particular country

Islamabad (Web Desk): Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch (Note: Your text mentions Shafqat Ali Khan—please confirm the name) stated that the strategic defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is not aimed against any third country, but is purely for mutual defense purposes.

Under the agreement, an attack on one country will be considered an attack on the other, reinforcing bilateral military cooperation and regional security alignment.

She further highlighted that India's involvement in terrorism and sabotage within Pakistan is no longer hidden, and reiterated that Pakistan seeks peace, stability, and meaningful dialogue in the region.

Commenting on India's decision to bar Sikh pilgrims from using the Kartarpur Corridor, she called it regrettable, saying such actions are obstacles to regional harmony and interfaith peace.
