The Mecca agreement is not an addition to the Saudi-Pakistani agreement, but rather a new and independent joint defense agreement that brings together Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan. The difference here is fundamental, as the tripartite agreement does not cancel the Saudi-Pakistani strategic agreement or replace it. Rather, each path remains independent and has its own obligations for each agreement, and God knows best its content and secret annexes.
Raed Qarmali, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, explained
That the agreement “does not cancel or replace any bilateral or multilateral agreements between these countries or with other countries and organizations.”
Therefore, Turkey's entry is not an expansion of the bilateral agreement, but rather the establishment of an independent tripartite defense framework based on the integration of the capabilities of the three countries, especially in the military, industrial, technical, and maritime fields, without it being a direct extension of the previous agreement.
