Partners across the globe
NATO Partners
NATO cooperates with a range of international organizations and countries in different structures.
Below is a list of these partners with links to their information servers.
In addition to its formal partnerships, NATO cooperates with a range of countries which are not part of these structures.
Often referred to as “Partners across the globe”, these countries develop cooperation with NATO in areas of mutual interest,
including emerging security challenges,
and some contribute actively to NATO operations either militarily or in some other way.

NATO cooperation with Japan
URLﾘﾝｸ(www.nato.int)
Japan is the longest-standing of NATO’s “partners across the globe”.
Building on initial contacts in the early 1990s, dialogue on common security interests has become more regular and structured.
Practical cooperation has been developed in a wide range of areas, including peace-support and crisis-management activities,
civil emergency planning, cyber defence, defence against terrorism, non-proliferation, as well as participation in military activities.
Stabilizing Afghanistan has been a key focus of cooperation over the past decade.
