An official statement said the three-way agreement aims to strengthen collective deterrence and provides that an armed attack on any one of the three countries would be considered an attack on all.
The statement said, “The Agreement is intended to strengthen collective deterrence against any act of aggression, and stipulates that any armed attack against any one of the three States shall be regarded as an attack against them all. It further provides for the enhancement of all aspects of defence cooperation among the three States.”
