Korea Strengthens Cooperation with NATO Through Science and Technology Partnership
The Korean Defense Ministry announced on Saturday that Korea has joined the science and technology body of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as a partner country. This move is aimed at enhancing cooperation with the Western military alliance. As a partner of the NATO Science and Technology Organization, Korea will collaborate with other members on joint research and development projects and participate in the alliance’s science and technology committee.
By becoming the organization’s third partner country after Japan and Australia, Korea is now part of a platform for cooperation in advanced defense technologies. The ministry stated that Korea’s entry into the partnership opens the door for multilateral defense science and technology cooperation with Europe for the first time, marking a significant milestone in South Korea-NATO relations.
Although Korea is not a member of NATO, it is one of the alliance’s four partners in the Indo-Pacific region, along with Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. With this new partnership, Korea aims to strengthen its ties with NATO and contribute to the advancement of defense technologies through collaboration with NATO member countries.
The partnership with NATO demonstrates Korea’s commitment to enhancing global security and promoting innovation in defense technologies. This collaboration provides opportunities for Korea to engage in joint projects and exchange expertise with NATO members, further solidifying its role in the international defense community.
