Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey Sign Mecca Joint Defense Agreement

Three countries—Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey—made a special promise to help and protect each other.

They signed an agreement called the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement.

The agreement says that if one of them is attacked, it is treated as an attack on all three.

The leaders say this is only for defense, meaning protection, and not for starting fights.

They want the region to be peaceful and stable.

The three countries can now work together on military planning and share important safety information.

Experts think this could make them stronger partners and change how things work in the Middle East.

The Middle East has been tense because of recent conflicts, which is why this agreement matters.

The countries promise the pact is not meant to create a new military team against anyone.
