RIYADH, — Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defence announced Friday that a Pakistani military contingent has arrived at King Abdulaziz Air Base in the Eastern Province under a joint strategic defence agreement between the two brotherly nations.
In an official statement released on X (formerly Twitter), the Saudi Ministry of Defence confirmed that the Pakistani deployment — comprising Pakistan Air Force combat and support aircraft — marks a significant milestone in bilateral military cooperation.
According to the statement, the deployment aims to strengthen defence ties between the two countries’ armed forces, enhance operational readiness, and promote peace and stability at both regional and global levels.
The move is seen as a reaffirmation of the longstanding strategic partnership between Islamabad and Riyadh, coming at a particularly sensitive moment in the Middle East.
“The deployment underscores the depth of Pakistan-Saudi strategic relations and signals coordinated readiness in a volatile regional environment.”
