Pak-Afghan Row: No Moscow Statement | Pakistan Denies Reuters’ 30-40K Troops in Saudi Arabia

A Pakistan-Afghanistan row leaves the Moscow Format without a joint statement, while Pakistan denies Reuters’ report of 30,000–40,000 Pakistani troops in Saudi Arabia. This Urdu geopolitical analysis examines both developments and their implications for regional diplomacy. We discuss disagreements between Pakistani representatives and Afghan leaders over the proposed statement, competing positions on cross-border security, and Russia’s offer to help reduce tensions. What does the diplomatic deadlock mean for Pakistan-Afghanistan relations and regional cooperation? The vlog also examines Pakistan’s Information Ministry response to Reuters, which described reported troop numbers and operational details as speculative and unverified. We distinguish the rejection of a specific deployment report from Pakistan’s broader commitment to Saudi security under the Makkah Defence Pact.
