Pakistan–NATO relations
North Atlantic Treaty Organization—Pakistan relations are the military–to–military relations between Pakistan and the comprised 32-states military alliance, called NATO. NATO has developed relations with a range of countries beyond the Euro-Atlantic area, considering Pakistan as "partners across the globe." Lobbied and with a support provided by United States Secretary of State, General (retired) Colin Powell, Pakistan is designated as a "Major non-NATO ally" as of 2004. Cooperation between Pakistan and NATO has occurred in several main sectors: fighting insurgency and terrorism in Bosnia and Afghanistan, military cooperation, transportation and logistics operations support to Afghanistan, non-proliferation, and others.
