Korea Strengthens Cooperation with NATO by Joining Science and Technology Body
Korea has recently joined the science and technology body of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as a partner country in order to enhance cooperation with the Western military alliance. This move, announced by the Defense Ministry, allows Korea to participate in joint research and development with other members and to plan projects under the alliance’s science and technology committee.
By becoming a partner of the NATO Science and Technology Organization, Korea gains access to a platform for collaboration in advanced defense technologies with other members. This partnership marks Korea as the third partner country, following Japan and Australia, to join the organization. The Defense Ministry stated that Korea’s entry into this partnership paves the way for multilateral defense science and technology cooperation with Europe and signifies a significant development in South Korea-NATO relations.
Although Korea is not an official member of NATO, it is one of the alliance’s partners in the Indo-Pacific region, alongside Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. This partnership solidifies Korea’s commitment to expanding its collaboration with NATO and working towards mutual defense interests. The move highlights Korea’s desire to strengthen its defense capabilities through international cooperation and advancements in science and technology.
