‘সৌদি আরবকে পূর্ণ শক্তি দিয়ে রক্ষা করবে পাকিস্তান’

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said Pakistan will defend Saudi Arabia "with full force," calling the kingdom's defence as important as Pakistan's own, in an interview with Geo News on Monday, 26 October. He said three countries had made a written commitment to jointly respond to covered threats. Asif linked the diplomatic initiative to Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir's meeting in Tehran with senior officials from Iran, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye, where the four countries agreed to continue dialogue. He said attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, including repeated targeting of Riyadh airport and attempts on the Haramain Sharifain, were "very unfortunate." Asif said he believed a conclusion had been reached that could help stop the war, while remaining cautious about the outcome, and said the United States had likely been discussed.

Where accounts differ. Bangla-language Jugantor does not report Asif's statement that his assessment was the initiative related more to Saudi Arabia, nor his remark that he was "slightly guarded" about the outcome, while Geo News reports both.
