NATO – South Korea cooperation

In addition to its formal partnerships1, NATO cooperates with a range of countries that are not part of these structures. Referred to as Contact Countries, they typically share similar strategic concerns and key Alliance values. Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand are all examples of Contact Countries.

Forces from The Republic of Korea contribute to the NATO-led operation in Afghanistan. South Korea leads the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) of Parwan province, including medical and engineering support.
