Military ties and intel sharing: What’s in the defence deal between Pakistan and Kuwait?

in5points

Kuwait ratified a five-year Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with Pakistan via Amiri decree-law (Decree No. 73 of 2026).
The DCA formalises a deal signed in June 2023 and includes intelligence sharing and defence technology cooperation.
Unlike Saudi Arabia's 2025 Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA), the DCA does not contain a mutual defence or collective security guarantee.
The ratification signals shifting security dynamics across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
