What Does The Mecca Pact Actually Change?
from All Things Policy · host Takshashila Institution
What does the emerging Mecca Pact mean for regional security and, more crucially, for India? In this episode of All Things Policy, Research Analysts Aishwaria Sonavane and Adya Madhavan deliberate on the trilateral defence arrangement between Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Pakistan, analysing its capabilities, strategic asymmetries, and the gap between collective-defence commitments on paper and immediate operational realities. From the perspective of a Pakistan-Saudi nuclear umbrella to questions of military interoperability and Pakistan's long-term capability development, they examine what India should and should not be anxious about. https://aishwariasonavane.github.io/Mecca-Pact-Dashboard/https://pakistanpaigham.substack.com/https://grammarofwar.substack.com/All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.
