Saudi Arabia & Pakistan agreed to launch a new Economic Cooperation Framework after talks in Riyadh, aiming to lock in long term investment, trade & joint projects. Saudi's calling it a “sustainable partnership.”
At FII9 in Saudi Arabia, the Investment Minister said it’s time to dial back government spending & let Saudi private capital drive growth. Organizers are also touting $250B in deals across past editions as Riyadh sells itself as an AI / supply chain / biotech hub.
Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif says talks with the Afghan Taliban in Istanbul “were sabotaged,” accuses Kabul of acting as “Delhi’s puppet,” and warns any cross-border attack will get a response “50 times stronger.” He says Islamabad’s patience is over.
Taliban officials met an Iranian delegation in Kabul to “renew border markers,” fight smuggling, and keep trade moving, while their trade minister was in Kazakhstan pushing a plan to raise bilateral commerce toward $3B and their health/works team flew to Saudi Arabia for cooperation talks.
Top adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Maj Gen Yahya Rahim Safavi, says Iran should consider joining the Saudi Pakistan defense pact, calling it positive for regional security. Recommendation only, no accession announced.
Pakistan has deployed around 8,000 troops, fighter jets and an air defense system to Saudi Arabia under a mutual defense agreement.

I don't think Isreal would hesitate if it came under attack from Saudi Arabia. They have nukes too.

Is Pakistan an ally of the US or not? IYO

No. We just keep them stable enough so their nukes don't fall into terrorist hands if they collapse. Short of that, really no interests align with each other. Short of nuclear containment.
