AMMAN – The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is set to establish its first liaison office in the Middle East, marking a significant expansion of the alliance's global footprint. The new office, to be located in Amman, Jordan, will serve as a platform for enhanced political dialogue and practical cooperation between NATO and the region.
The decision to open the Amman office was announced following the recent NATO summit in Washington, D. C. It reflects the alliance’s recognition of Jordan's pivotal role in regional stability and its commitment to combating transnational threats. The office will enable regular engagement between NATO and Jordanian authorities, fostering a deeper understanding of regional dynamics and facilitating the development of collaborative programs.
Areas of potential cooperation include strategic analysis, civil emergency planning, crisis management, public diplomacy, cybersecurity, and climate change. The new liaison office is expected to strengthen NATO’s relationship with Jordan and other Middle Eastern partners, contributing to a more secure and stable region.
