Change your policies so that you do not have to #BegForSecurity from others,\u201d he wrote.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan formalise defence cooperation<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The criticism came after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif signed an agreement that would treat an attack on one country as an attack on all three, according to statements from the three governments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The agreement brings together oil-rich Saudi Arabia, nuclear-armed Pakistan and Turkey, which possesses NATO\u2019s second-largest army and a rapidly expanding defence industry. The three countries said the arrangement is intended to strengthen cooperation and deterrence amid growing regional security concerns.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Saudi Arabia insisted that the agreement does not amount to a military pact and would not affect its existing partnerships.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>\u201cThe agreement does not represent any orientation toward building a military axis or sectarian\/religious bloc, and it is not linked to nuclear endeavours or an arms race, but rather to building sustainable self-reliant capabilities,\u201d a Saudi statement said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>\u201cThe agreement does not come at the expense of the Kingdom\u2019s strategic and strong relations at the Gulf, Arab, and international levels.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>A Turkish government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the agreement as \u201cpurely defensive in nature\u201d, saying the countries had pledged mutual support only for defence and that the arrangement was \u201cnot against any specific actor\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>The official said the agreement would not replace any existing bilateral or multilateral commitments and remained open to other regional countries that wished to join.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Another Turkish official said the pact would also deepen defence industry cooperation and military coordination among the three states.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, director of the Ankara office of The German Marshall Fund, said the agreement reflected shared concerns over regional fragmentation, civil conflict and armed non-state groups.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>\u201cThis is a reflection of their growing desire for greater regional stability,\u201d he said. <!-- -->\u201cThey see state fragmentation, civil conflict, an environment of non-state actors as sources of instability.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>He added that while Saudi Arabia and Turkey both viewed Iran and Israel as sources of instability, Riyadh was generally more concerned about Iran and Ankara more concerned about Israel.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>\u201cAt the end of the day, all three countries are concerned about instability,\u201d Unluhisarcikli said.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
