1. Türkiye, Qatar, Pakistan and Indonesia sign defence cooperation memorandum in Doha

   CNA, citing Türkiye's defence ministry, reported the four countries signed the 'Badr Memorandum' in Doha on Oct 21, covering defence industrial production, military capability, technical military training and joint research and development, and drawing on their defence industries to meet the needs of allies and friendly countries. Türkiye has NATO's second-largest army and a base in Qatar, and in August signed a mutual defence pact with nuclear-armed Pakistan and Saudi Arabia under which an attack on one is an attack on all.
