Pakistan promised unwavering support for Saudi Arabia under the newly signed Mecca defence pact. But with Houthi attacks escalating and Saudi Arabia facing fresh threats, Islamabad appears to be stopping short of any military response.
So what exactly does the Mecca Pact mean in practice?
Pakistan says it will act “when the time comes” — but who decides when that time has arrived? What actually triggers the pact? Does it guarantee Pakistani troops, air defence or naval support? And is this really a military alliance, or largely a diplomatic commitment?
