US President Donald Trump has welcomed the signing of the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye, describing the development as a significant step in regional defence cooperation.
Trump shared his response on Truth Social, saying he was pleased to see the three countries strengthen their formal security ties. He highlighted the agreement as a development that could support greater cooperation among the participating nations.
The agreement brings Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye together through a framework focused on defence coordination and mutual security. It comes as countries across the region continue to develop stronger strategic partnerships.
Trump described the agreement as a “big, bold, important first step,” pointing to its possible importance for regional security and the ability of participating countries to work together on shared concerns.
The pact also reflects the changing nature of defence relationships in the Middle East and surrounding regions. Closer coordination between the three countries could create opportunities for further cooperation in security and strategic affairs.
With the agreement now signed, attention is expected to focus on how the partnership develops and what practical measures the three countries introduce in the future.
Trump’s public support adds an international dimension to the development and highlights the wider attention surrounding the new defence partnership between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye.
