Former Saudi intelligence chief and ambassador Prince Turki Al-Faisal said the Mecca joint defense agreement signed by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan could reshape regional security calculations. In an analysis published by Arab News, he described the arrangement as a defensive pact and said the three countries’ military and strategic capabilities could complement one another, potentially making the alliance an important regional force.
Prince Turki said the agreement should not be viewed as targeting any particular country. He placed the cooperation in the context of ongoing wars in the Middle East, possible strategic vacuums, shifting balances of power and weaknesses in older regional security arrangements. He said states commonly form defense alliances to protect their security and stability, and suggested that other countries sharing similar objectives could join in the future.
The analysis also highlighted Saudi Arabia’s geographic position, oil resources, financial capacity, military strength and diplomatic influence. It cited the importance of Red Sea access and Saudi ports and infrastructure as alternative energy transport routes to the Strait of Hormuz. Prince Turki said the alliance’s eventual impact would depend on military coordination, political trust and its ability to include additional countries.
