India Watches Cautiously as MECCA Pact Members Meet

Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye have made a security agreement.

It says that an attack on one country would be treated as an attack on all three.

The countries are meeting for the first time under this agreement today.

However, the agreement does not say exactly how the other countries must respond.

They might provide help, but the kind of help would depend on the situation.

It would also depend on what the country under attack asks for.

This means Saudi Arabia and Türkiye are not automatically required to fight for Pakistan.

India is therefore watching the agreement carefully.
