Diplomatic sources added that the call between Ishaq Dar and Dr. Abdelatty highlights the significance of this new defense pact. It also signals growing support from Muslim-majority countries for stronger collaboration in defense and security.
The signing of the agreement has already been welcomed by several international observers. Many view it as a reflection of evolving partnerships in a changing global security environment.
