Westerners don't realize the length of the extra mile Turks & Pakistanis are willing to go for each other!
🇵🇰Pivot to Pakistan: Gulf states look beyond US military
Pakistan finds itself increasingly in demand as a security partner across the Persian Gulf.
It has deployed troops to Saudi Arabia, held discussions with Qatar about the latter joining the Pakistani-Saudi defense pact, and received a request from Bahrain to help train the kingdom’s pilots. There also growing high-level military contacts between Pakistan and Oman, Kuwait, and Lebanon.
This shift comes as Gulf states grow disillusioned with U.S. security guarantees after American bases on their territory were hit by Iranian missiles and drones.
"It is expansion of their defense area... not a replacement. It's basically diversification which the Gulf states are looking for,” Dr. Shaista Tabassum of the University of Karachi told Sputnik.
Why Pakistan? Tabassum gave four reasons:
🔶Nuclear deterrence – Only Muslim state with nuclear technology & missile capability to deliver warheads if required
🔶Cost advantage – Defense agreements with Pakistan are cheaper than those with the US
🔶Proven capability – Pakistan's military has recent combat experience, unlike many regional militaries
🔶The Israel factor – Pakistan's consistent anti-Israel posture guarantees no "secret relationship" with Tel Aviv, giving Gulf states political security
🇺🇿🇵🇰 Uzbekistan and Pakistan will jointly produce a film on the life of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire.
The project will explore his childhood, rise to power, and the establishment of his empire.
Pakistan has successfully conducted the training fire of the indigenously developed and designed Ground-Launched Cruise Missile “Fatah-4”.
The successful test marks another significant milestone in strengthening the country’s indigenous defence capabilities and strategic deterrence.

In 1952 France refused Balafrej to speak at U.N citing Morocco is its colony. Pak F.M Zafarullah Khan swiftly granted him Pak nationality/passport overnight, letting him speak at U.N, boosting global support for its independence.
