The Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, signed in September 2025, treats aggression against one signatory as:
A
Grounds for automatic joint military intervention
B
A matter for UN Security Council referral only
C
Aggression against both parties
D
A bilateral trade dispute
Correct Answer: Option C — Aggression against both parties
Explanation:
While the agreement views aggression against either party as aggression against both, it stops short of mandating automatic military intervention, preserving flexibility for each country's response.
