NATO is strengthening relationships in the Pacific

NATO is expanding its focus to the Pacific due to concerns over China's support for Russia in the Ukraine conflict. Pacific nations like Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and Australia are collaborating with NATO to enhance cooperation. Despite being a Pacific nation, Hawaii is not under NATO protection due to historical treaty limitations. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has led to Finland and Sweden joining NATO, highlighting the alliance's evolving role beyond the Atlantic.
