Pakistan, Kuwait hold defence talks as Gulf seeks stronger security amid US-Iran crisis — Report
Pakistan and Kuwait are engaged in early-stage defence talks amid rising security concerns linked to US-Iran tensions. Islamabad is wary that its mutual defence pact with Saudi Arabia could entangle it in a conflict, especially after recent attacks on Saudi Arabia by Iran-aligned forces. Kuwait seeks a more robust defence arrangement with Pakistan, but Islamabad has ruled out deploying combat troops at this stage, complicating the potential for a formal defence pact.
