The Alliance needs to differentiate between types of partners by reviewing their grouping. The deteriorating security environment in the Middle East and North Africa has forced NATO to focus on its southern flank. In view of the deepening relations between Russia and China, it can be assumed with a high degree of certainty that both countries are a threat to security. NATOʼs Strategic Vision Documents and the Medium- and Long-Term Partnership Challenges assess a set of criteria derived from them. The work on the new strategic concept provides a very good opportunity to prioritize models of cooperation, such as those that NATO has with the Asia-Pacific Quartet. The Alliance can be much more effective than relying solely on bilateral cooperation.
