Summary/Abstract: The participation of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol at the June NATO summit was an element of the Alliance’s deepening cooperation with its Asia-Pacific partners. Strengthening ties with NATO and its member states in areas such as cybersecurity and the defence industry serves to raise South Korea’s position as an actor contributing to international security. The country’s increasingly clear stand on the side of the U.S. in the rivalry with China and Russia, which are actively undermining the current international order, may coarsen its relationship with China and result in increasing tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
