NATO-Russia Council

The NATO-Russia Council is a formal forum established in 2002 for dialogue and cooperation between NATO member countries and Russia. Its goal is to promote transparency, address security concerns, and manage differences through diplomatic discussions rather than conflict. While it facilitates joint efforts on issues like terrorism and regional stability, interactions can vary in tone and effectiveness, reflecting the evolving security relationship. The council aims to build trust and prevent misunderstandings but is not a military alliance; it is a platform for dialogue and cooperation on common security challenges.
