@phoenixdesi

official perspetive? since when? maybe you are right but i wasnt aware that this is part of our stated policies.

so if there is indeed a territorial threat to saudi arabia, pak will send his army and weapons to saudi? should we? please enlighten.

plus how would you define a territorial threat? saudis will always claim they have one, so send your damn army per your promise. and we will always say that there is no territorial threat. and it will cause more rift and bad blood.

so why get into this kind of stupid statements and claims. we shd just avoid this topic all-together. we can hardly maintain our own sovereignty against international terrorists who are flooding our land …

Official perspective, because it was the civilian govt that effectively refused to participate in Yemen (even if that narrative came from the army in the background). I applaud NS for taking that stand, despite close personal relations to the Saudi monarchs.

Territorial threat is defined as an actual war/attack by another country on Saudi. In the Yemeni scenario, there is no war. Its just the saudis trying to maintain their compliant govt in Yemen. Saudis understood Pakistan’s perspective, which is why differences on the issue didnt boil over.
