Summary Authorities in Islamabad hoisted national flags of the three countries along the Constitution Avenue in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - Pakistan and Saudi Arabia celebrated their joint defence pact with Turkiye on Saturday with the Kingdom illuminating landmarks across the country with the flags of all three countries, while Pakistan hoisted the national flags of the three states at a key road in Islamabad.
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye signed the “Makkah Joint Defense Agreement” on Friday, stipulating that an armed attack against one of the three countries would be treated as an attack against all, amid regional tensions following months of conflict between the United States and Iran.
Authorities in Islamabad hoisted national flags of the three countries along the Constitution Avenue in Islamabad, which houses the country’s parliament, Supreme Court and other important ministries and government offices. LED screens were also installed along key locations in the capital, highlighting the historic brotherly relations between the three countries and their joint defense commitment.
“This special decoration of the federal capital serves as a beautiful manifestation of brotherhood, mutual trust, defense cooperation, and shared resolve among the three nations,” the Pakistani information ministry said in a statement.
‘WIDESPREAD PUBLIC JUBILATION’
Separately, prominent landmarks and towers across Saudi Arabia were illuminated with the national flags of Pakistan, Turkiye and the Kingdom, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Saturday.
“The light displays across various regions reflected widespread public jubilation over the historic pact,” SPA said, describing the agreement as an expression of the three countries’ commitment to collective security and regional and global stability.
