News Desk
ISLAMABAD: More than six countries have shown interest in joining the Makkah Defense Pact, according to Finance Minister Ishaq Dar. This announcement comes during a press briefing held on Tuesday, where Dar emphasized the significance of this initiative in enhancing regional security.

Dar stated that the Makkah Defense Pact aims to foster collaboration among member states in addressing common security challenges. He highlighted that the initiative is not only a strategic move but also a testament to the growing diplomatic ties among the participating nations. “This pact will serve as a platform for collective defense and mutual support,” he added.

The implications of this development are profound, as it signals a shift towards greater military cooperation in the region. Analysts suggest that the Makkah Defense Pact could strengthen Pakistan’s position in international relations, particularly in the context of its ties with Middle Eastern countries. This could also lead to enhanced security measures against terrorism and other regional threats.

Looking ahead, the government plans to hold a series of meetings with interested nations to discuss the framework and operational details of the pact. Officials are optimistic that formal agreements will be reached in the coming months, paving the way for a more secure and cooperative regional environment.
