What's Islamic Nato defence pact? A defence arrangement was signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in September. According to Bloomberg, the pact states that “any aggression” against one member would be treated as an attack on all. Turkey, a Nato member with the second-largest military in the alliance after the US, has now formally joined the grouping at the Macca City in Saudi Arebia under MACCA Pact. Turkey and Pakistan already have close defence cooperation. Ankara is building corvette warships for Pakistan’s navy, has upgraded Pakistan’s F-16 fighter jets, and shares drone technology with both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Turkey also now wants both countries to join its Kaan fifth-generation fighter jet programme.
