Türkiye has said that its joint defence pact signed with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is "not aimed at any particular country".
"The Mecca Agreement, which is not aimed at any particular country, will strengthen the shared security and collective deterrence of the three nations... thereby making significant contributions to the preservation of peace and stability in our region," the Turkish Head of Communications Burhanettin Duran said on a Turkish social media platform NSosyal on Friday.
Duran described the pact as "a historic step" that strengthens the countries' shared history, deep-rooted fraternal ties and strong spirit of solidarity on a strategic basis.
He added that Türkiye, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, remains committed to contributing to regional and global peace, security and stability through strategic cooperation with friendly and brotherly countries in an increasingly complex global security environment.
He highlighted that the agreement reflects the determination of the three countries to uphold their shared values and build the future security architecture through solidarity.
Duran further expressed hope that the agreement would bring benefits to the three brotherly countries and further strengthen the deep-rooted brotherhood and strategic cooperation among Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
