To increase understanding of these changes and their impacts, USIP convened a working group consisting of experts from NATO countries and from NATO’s formal partner countries in the Asia-Pacific: Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand, which are informally known as the Asia-Pacific Four (or AP4). The working group is shedding light on the perspectives, interests and concerns of Asia-Pacific partners on security engagement with Europe, Europe’s role vis-à-vis security challenges from China, impacts of the war in Ukraine, and areas for cooperation between NATO and the AP4.
