WNAM REPORT: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday welcomed the defence pact between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia as the beginning of a “comprehensive regional security system”.
Under the agreement signed by Islamabad and Riyadh last week, an aggression against one state will be considered an attack on both. The pact was signed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman at the Al Yamamah Palace in Riyadh.
The Iranian president praised the defence deal while in his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
“Iran welcomes the defence pact between the two brotherly Muslim countries, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, as a beginning of a comprehensive regional security system with the cooperation of the Muslim states of West Asia in the political, security and defence domains,” he said.
