Following an increase in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, questions have been raised over whether Pakistan will provide military support to Riyadh.
Reuters reports that Pakistan is seeking to maintain its defence partnership with Saudi Arabia while also trying to reduce tensions between Iran and the Houthis through diplomatic efforts.
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has said Islamabad will fulfil its role under the Makkah defence agreement. However, Pakistan has not announced any decision to launch direct military action against the Houthis.
Pakistan’s Defence Minister has warned that the defence agreement could be activated if attacks against Saudi Arabia continue or the conflict spreads to the kingdom.
