Yet, Saudi Arabia may be seeking Pakistani security assistance for domestic rather than external threats .

They need Pakistani help in calming their domestic scene, where as they themselves have been destabilizing Pakistan and Afghanistan?

From the Saudi perspective, Egypt remains a country dependent on Saudi aid, and this is how it should remain. A strong and stable Egypt — an unlikely development in the short term — is bound to be a competitor, simply because of its historical role and relevance to many Arab issues. In reality, Saudi Arabia is more comfortable with Egypt as a client state dependent on Saudi subsidies rather than an independent partner with its own ambitions.
