Pakistan has been repeatedly asked by Saudi Arabia to deploy troops in Yemen
LAHORE: The Pakistan army has made a major decision to send a contingent to Saudi Arabia for advisory and training purposes under the Islamic Military Alliance. Previously, in the backdrop of the creation of the alliance, Pakistan has been repeatedly asked by Saudi Arabia to deploy troops in Yemen. However, Pakistan reiterated its intention to remain neutral in the conflict.
Considering the pressure the authorities here have faced, not much can be said about Pakistani forces staying in KSA for their intended purpose only.
