Mint Quick Edit | A new triad raises the stakes for India-Pakistan conflicts: here’s what we must do

The article discusses the implications of the new Saudi-Türkiye-Pakistan security pact, initiated due to Riyadh's need for deterrence against Iran. It highlights how this "Nato-like" alliance will reshape power dynamics in the Islamic world and significantly affect South Asia, particularly India-Pakistan relations. The author urges India to proactively engage Saudi Arabia to clarify the definition of an "attack" within the pact. This engagement is crucial to prevent the "all-for-one" clause from being wrongly invoked during cross-border skirmishes, ensuring regional stability.
