Pakistan and Saudi Arabia agree to join the same boat

Hạ Lang |

Although Pakistan and Saudi Arabia both have resolutely intended to do so for a long time and the results have been arranged over a long period of time, the bilateral defense agreement just announced by both sides on September 17 is still surprising due to new developments in political and security in the South Asian region as well as in the Middle East and the Gulf region.

The most special and noteworthy of which is the new border war between India and Pakistan, which in turn has airstrikes on Qatar - a military ally of the US and has a very active role as a mediator for the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have been traditional strategic military allies for many years, so it is normal and logical that the bilateral cooperation in military, defense and security is very developed and trustworthy. So the surprising thing about the new defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is that one side considers the other side being attacked by someone as if it was attacked and has an obligation to stand side by side in the fight against each other - as NATO members pledged to ensure mutual security.

This means that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia link their security fates together, like stepping on the same boat to go out to sea, accepting to float and sink together with this boat.

Pakistan is also considered a country with nuclear weapons, so it should be understood in theory that this agreement breaks the nuclear umbrella of Pakistan to protect Saudi Arabia. In return, Saudi Arabia will definitely dump its money into Pakistan.

The signing of this agreement shows that both sides are currently very concerned about security challenges and threats, so they must find ways to respond. Both no longer believe in the role of the US in ensuring security in the region and must truly protect Israel.

The two sides have created a precedent for sharing the security fate in the region and this precedent will then fundamentally change the political situation of security and relations between countries in both regions.
