Pakistan Urges Muslim Nations to Form Mutual Defence Bloc Akin to NATO

Pakistan has called on Muslim-majority nations to set aside their differences and join a proposed collective defence alliance. The initiative builds on an existing defence agreement that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed approximately one year ago. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has described the pact's mutual defence clause as technically equivalent to NATO's Article 5, which obligates members to treat an attack on one as an attack on all. The proposal represents a significant push toward formalised military cooperation among Islamic nations. No details have yet been confirmed regarding which countries have agreed to join the alliance.
