NATO members sending representatives to South Korea include the US, UK, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Romania and Poland on a three-day trip starting on December 13.

During the visit, the delegation plans to meet with top South Korean officials, including Defense Minister Shin Won-sik and First Vice Foreign Minister Chang Ho-jin.

The delegation will also attend the Forum on Women and Security organized by the US Embassy in Seoul.

This will be a rare NATO visit to strengthen regional security cooperation with non-NATO member South Korea in the Indo- Pacific region, after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol attended two consecutive NATO Summits in 2022 and 2023.
