Riyadh heads world's fifth-largest military alliance
The Mecca Treaty for Collective Defense has come into effect between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, making it the fifth major multilateral military alliance based on the principle of collective defense. Under this principle, an attack on any member is considered an attack on all. The agreement links three major security blocs: the Gulf forces of the Kingdom, Turkey's military capability (a NATO member), and Pakistan's nuclear capabilities, thereby enhancing an unprecedented strategic deterrence. This agreement occurs within the context of intertwined regional and international defense networks and represents a significant addition to the landscape of global military alliances, which include NATO, the Rio Pact, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and the Collective Security Treaty Organization. This step underscores the strengthening of military and defensive cooperation among the three countries and the expansion of regional and international deterrence networks.
