Defence Pact with Turkey, Pakistan Not Nuclear Ambition: Saudi Official

Saudi Arabia signed a special agreement to work together on defence with two other countries, Turkey and Pakistan.

A person who works for Saudi Arabia's government said the agreement is not about making nuclear weapons.

He said the countries just want to get better at keeping themselves safe.

The agreement is not meant to scare any other country.

It is also not meant to be a group that fights against other groups.

The official said the deal will help build strong and lasting abilities.

He posted his message on a social media site called X. Some people might have worried the agreement could start a race to build more weapons.

The official said that is not what it is about.

The deal is supposed to help everyone in the region feel safe.
