沙烏地阿拉伯、土耳其與巴基斯坦簽署麥加聯合防禦協議

發生了什麼

沙烏地王儲兼首相、土耳其總統與巴基斯坦總理在麥加的薩法宮簽署麥加聯合防禦協議。由三國政府共同發布的峰會聯合聲明表示，該協議旨在加強對任何侵略行為的集體嚇阻，規定對三國中任何一國的任何武裝攻擊，應被視為對所有三國的攻擊，並規定發展三國之間各方面的防務合作。協議文本未公開。土耳其官員公開表示，該協定並非針對任何特定一方，並對其他國家開放。

The most significant new security arrangement a Gulf state entered during the war was made outside the Gulf Cooperation Council, in the same month the Council's own leaders called for faster military integration. TWO THINGS ARE TRUE AT ONCE AND ARE KEPT APART HERE: the three governments' own summit statement says that an armed attack against any one of the three shall be regarded as an attack against them all, so the collective-defence undertaking is official rather than secondary-only; and the agreement text itself has not been published, so what follows from that undertaking — what response is owed, by whom, decided how — is not established by any source read.
