Dar reiterated that the pact was aimed at promoting regional peace, stability and prosperity and was not directed against any particular country.
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye signed the agreement on Friday, establishing a collective security framework under which an armed attack against any one of the three countries would be regarded as an attack against all.
In a statement on X, Dar said the Makkah Accord reflected the deep-rooted brotherly ties among the three countries and was the outcome of years of discussions and coordination aimed at strengthening strategic cooperation in addressing shared security challenges.
He clarified that the agreement neither abrogated nor replaced any existing bilateral or multilateral agreements involving the three countries.
Dar said that, in line with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, an armed attack against any signatory would be considered an attack against all, consistent with the right to individual and collective self-defence.
Emphasising that the agreement was not directed against any country, he said its sole purpose was to reinforce efforts towards regional peace, stability and prosperity.
The foreign minister said the pact remained open to any country in the region prepared to uphold its fundamental principles and resolve differences through mutual respect, cooperation and peaceful means.
He added that the agreement was consistent with Pakistan's foreign policy and reaffirmed Islamabad's commitment to working with regional partners to promote peaceful conflict resolution and build a more secure and prosperous future.
The agreement was signed during the Makkah Al-Mukarramah Summit for Joint Defence, attended by Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Pact comes amid regional tensions
The defence agreement comes against the backdrop of the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran, which began on February 28 and has significantly affected security and trade routes across the region, including maritime traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Turkiye has NATO's second-largest military, Saudi Arabia is the Gulf's leading power and one of the world's major oil exporters, while Pakistan is the only nuclear-armed Muslim country.
Following the signing of the pact, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said President Erdogan wanted the alliance to expand, identifying Egypt as a potential future member.
Pakistan has also remained in the diplomatic spotlight since the outbreak of the conflict, having played a role in efforts to mediate between the United States and Iran.
The Foreign Office said the agreement reflected the three countries' shared commitment to strengthening collective security and promoting peace, security and stability in the region and beyond.
It said the pact was intended to strengthen collective deterrence against aggression and stipulated that an armed attack against any one of the three states would be regarded as an attack against all.
The agreement also provides for enhanced defence cooperation among Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye.
The development comes a year after Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a separate mutual defence agreement under which aggression against either country would be treated as aggression against both.
