"While reinforcing its own deterrence capabilities, India should pursue political engagement with Pakistan that will create an opportunity to make a better assessment of the situation and explore confidence-building measures, even if they are of limited utility to begin with."

Very interesting and thought-provoking discussion with Dr. Dan Markey (@MarkeyDaniel) on U.S.–Pakistan relations, the China factor, and the risk of another India–Pakistan flare-up. Worth a listen if you’re trying to make sense of where U.S. policy toward Pakistan might actually be headed.

Strange messaging...Ten days ahead of Rubio visit to India, US government suspends top Indian firms in US's ability to hire Indians.

Major development in the Saudi-Pakistan-Türkiye defence pact. The Makkah Alliance is moving from declarations to implementation: agreed military forces and capabilities, rapid deployment in Saudi Arabia, and greater military integration. Pakistan’s Lt Gen Nauman Mahmood has been appointed its first Secretary-General.
For Pakistan, this brings influence but also difficult choices: how far it commits militarily, avoids being drawn into regional conflicts, and balances ties with Iran and other neighbours.

[Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Pakistan @ForeignOfficePk]

Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar @MIshaqDar50 , Federal Minister for Defence, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, and the Chief of Army Staff & Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir attended the Emergency Meeting of the Strategic Political and Defence Committee ( S-PDC) established under the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement on 5 October 2026 in Riyadh today.

The meeting endorsed the nomination of Lieutenant General Nauman Mahmood(Rtd), Hilal-e-Imtiaz (Military) as the first Secretary-General of the Makkah Alliance for Defence .

The meeting also strongly condemned the attempted targeting of the Holy Cities of Makkah and Medina, as well as continued attacks against the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The three countries exchanged views on the latest regional developments and expressed their resolve to work closely for regional peace and stability.

During the meeting, Pakistan expressed its unwavering solidarity with the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and expressed its full support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security.

Pakistan also reiterated its continued commitment to making all efforts for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.

I regretfully announce that PIPS’ upcoming Pakistan Security Dialogue has been cancelled following the cancellation of visas for most of the foreign delegates and Serena Hotel’s cancellation of all bookings, citing security reasons. No written explanation has been provided yet.
