The North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] is one of the world’s major international institutions. It is a political and military alliance that brings together 29 member countries from Europe and North America. These countries meet to cooperate in the field of security and defence. In this respect, NATO provides a unique link between these two continents for political and security cooperation. Taken from NATO’s What is Nato?
