I stopped Nawaz Sharif from signing Pak-Saudi Defence Pact

Описание: I stopped Nawaz Sharif from signing Pak-Saudi Defence Pact

A major claim has emerged regarding Pakistan’s foreign policy history: that *former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif* was once prevented from signing a *Pakistan–Saudi Arabia defence pact* that could have deeply reshaped Pakistan’s strategic position in the Middle East.

For decades, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have maintained close **military, economic, and political ties**. Pakistani military personnel have trained Saudi forces, and the two countries have cooperated on security matters for many years. However, a formal defence pact could have meant deeper obligations for Pakistan in regional conflicts.

According to the claim, intervention from senior political or strategic figures stopped the agreement at a crucial moment, potentially preventing Pakistan from becoming directly entangled in Middle Eastern rivalries—particularly the **Saudi-Iran rivalry**.

Supporters of this view argue that avoiding such a pact helped Pakistan maintain a *balanced foreign policy* with both **Saudi Arabia and Iran**. Critics, however, say a stronger defence alliance could have strengthened Pakistan’s strategic and economic ties with the Gulf.
