Open support

I have been reading with interest the debate over the possible provision of our troops to defend Saudi Arabia. It is ridiculous the way we tend to scandalise the circumstances.
We must openly announce that Pakistan will stand by the Saudis when it comes to defending their country. The two countries have a long history of good relations. There should be no doubt or second opinion. A timely and open decision will have long-term beneficial effects.
