Saudi Arabia’s Security and Sovereignty Pakistan’s Top Priority, Says DG ISPR
ISLAMABAD:Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has said that protecting Saudi Arabia’s security and sovereignty is Pakistan’s top priority.
In an interview with Saudi newspaper *Asharq Al-Awsat*, the military spokesperson said the security of Saudi Arabia and the two Holy Mosques was of utmost importance to Pakistan.
He said Pakistan was ready to take all necessary measures to defend Saudi Arabia under the prevailing circumstances. These measures would include providing military personnel, defence capabilities, training and logistical support.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry noted that Pakistani troops were already performing various responsibilities in Saudi Arabia. Their duties primarily included defence assistance, military exercises and training activities.
He said that following recent attacks on Saudi Arabia, practical progress had begun on the responsibilities of the Makkah Defence Alliance. Pakistan had strongly condemned attacks targeting Saudi cities, airports, and civilian and economic infrastructure.
Commenting on Pakistan’s diplomatic engagement with Iran, the DG ISPR said the October 26 meeting in Tehran was aimed at developing a framework to reduce regional tensions.
He said Field Marshal Asim Munir’s participation in the Tehran meeting reflected Pakistan’s commitment to dialogue and the peaceful resolution of disputes.
According to Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, all four countries had agreed to continue dialogue and cooperation to promote regional peace and stability.
