Pakistan is preparing to send up to 25,000 troops to Saudi Arabia as part of a defense agreement, mainly because of rising tensions with Yemen's Houthi rebels.
With more than 15,000 Pakistani soldiers already stationed there, this move shows just how close the two countries are when it comes to military cooperation.
