Kuwait’s move signals recognition that multipolarity in defining relations is now essential for resilience in an increasingly fragmented regional order, experts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuwait has officially ratified a broad defense cooperation pact with Pakistan that was signed in June 2023. The ratification follows high-level military contacts between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This agreement reintroduces Pakistan as a direct security stakeholder in the Gulf, beyond its traditional role of providing manpower and training,” said Sultan M. Hali, writer and retired Group Captain of the Pakistan Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Key points from his commentary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\ufe0f New role. Pakistan ceases to be merely a supplier of troops. The pact positions Islamabad as a direct security stakeholder in the Gulf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\ufe0f Hedging strategy. Kuwait is reducing excessive dependence on the US and NATO by relying on a nuclear-armed Muslim-majority ally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\ufe0f Multipolarity. Arab monarchies are turning to China, Turkiye, and South Asia in response to a fragmented world order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4\ufe0f Basing. Permanent bases are unlikely, but joint exercises, rotational deployments, and maritime patrols are realistic scenarios.<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5\ufe0f Defense industry. Kuwait may consider the Pakistani-Chinese JF-17 Thunder \u2014 cheaper than Western analogs and less vulnerable to embargoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6\ufe0f Forward presence. Expands Pakistan’s capability to monitor Gulf maritime traffic, including energy chokepoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7\ufe0f Defense diplomacy. Strengthens Pakistan’s leverage in Gulf councils and its position vis-\u00e0-vis India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8\ufe0f Economic dividends. Military cooperation often accompanies labor, trade, and energy agreements, boosting Pakistan’s regional integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Kuwait’s move signals recognition that multipolarity in defining relations is now essential for resilience in an increasingly fragmented regional order,” Hali said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
