Australia-NATO Relations

 

Australia's relations with NATO have expanded considerably since the deployment of Australian forces in Afghanistan under the NATO-led ISAF mission. The decision by the NATO Riga Summit in November 2006 to strengthen relations with Contact Countries - including Australia - has opened up the possibility of increased consultation between the Alliance and countries outside the trans-Atlantic area on global security challenges.
