Pakistan vows to defend Saudi Arabia against Houthis ‘by any means available’

Pakistan will use “any means available” to defend Saudi Arabia against the Houthis, Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said on Tuesday. Speaking during a visit to Rome, Asif said Pakistan’s military capabilities would be available to Saudi Arabia under its new mutual defence agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. “I’m not going into detail, but obviously when I say that we are bound by this arrangement to defend Saudi Arabia, that means whatever means are available at our disposal, they’ll be available to Saudi Arabia also. I think that’s a categoric statement,” he said.
