NATO’s expanding role in the Indo-Pacific

Abstract

The article "NATO's Expanding Role in the Indo-Pacific" explores the alliance's increasing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region, driven by rising geopolitical tensions and China's growing influence. The 75th NATO Summit in Washington underscored the strategic importance of the Indo-Pacific for NATO, highlighting new military partnerships, defense industry collaborations, and a focus on countering hybrid threats. While NATO's engagement reflects a commitment to regional stability, it also risks escalating tensions with China, raising questions about the alliance's future role and strategic priorities in this vital region.
