The information comes from Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif. In an interview with the TV channel Geo, he emphasizes that the nuclear arsenal's "deterrent effect" will also benefit Saudi Arabia.
Let me be clear about Pakistan's nuclear capacity – it was established a long time ago when we conducted tests. Since then, our forces have been trained for the battlefield, says Asif.
What we have, the capacity we possess, will be made available (to Saudi Arabia) through this agreement.
The leaders of the two countries signed the defense agreement on Wednesday. It states that an attack on one nation will be seen as an attack on both. The pact was concluded a week after Israel's bombing of a residential area in Doha, the capital of Saudi Arabia's neighboring country Qatar. The attack killed several people, including five Hamas members.
