Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey Sign 'Islamic Nato' Defence Pact

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

They signed a big agreement called the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement.

It says that if one of the three countries is attacked, the other two will help it fight back.

The agreement makes them one big security team, and some people call it an 'Islamic Nato'.

Saudi Arabia is a rich country and will give money and strong support.

Turkey is very good at making modern military machines, like drones that fly without pilots.

Pakistan has a strong, experienced army and powerful nuclear weapons.

The leaders of the three countries met in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia to sign the agreement.

They plan to do joint military exercises, share technology, and work together on defence.

The deal grows out of a smaller promise Pakistan and Saudi Arabia made last year.
