Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, whether he is taking steps to deepen diplomatic cooperation with members of the NATO Partnership for Peace programme.

We regularly discuss NATO partnerships with Allies. The Partnership for Peace Programme allows partners to build up an individual relationship with NATO. We are working with Allies to explore ways to strengthen cooperation to address global security challenges, such as support to Ukraine, cyber defence, countering hybrid activities and emerging and disruptive technologies.
