Turkey has completed the legal ratification process of the joint defence agreement with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan following the publication of the relevant law in the country’s Official Gazette.
Al Jazeera reported on Saturday, November 14, that the Turkish parliament approved the agreement on November 5.
The law governing the agreement entered into force on November 13, following its publication in Turkey’s Official Gazette.
The agreement was signed on August 7 in Mecca by the Turkish president, the Saudi crown prince and the Pakistani prime minister.
The agreement aims to strengthen military coordination, intelligence sharing, and cooperation in the defence industries between the three countries.
The agreement was signed amid rising regional tensions following the US-Israeli war against Iran.
