‘NATO Plus Five’ Status

June 22, 2023

Context: 

The U.S. Senate’s India Caucus Co-Chairs will introduce legislation to give India ‘NATO plus five’ defence status. 

More on News:

  • The recommendation to include India was given by the U.S. House of Representatives committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
  • The Congressional panel, called in short the China Committee, recommends that India should be the sixth member. 

About ‘NATO plus five’:

  • It is aimed at boosting global defence cooperation.
  • Reasons stated to include India: 
    1. To build upon the US and India’s close partnership to strengthen global security and deter Chinese aggression.
    2. To facilitate seamless intelligence sharing between these countries and India 
    3. To grant access to the latest military technology without much of a time lag.
Additional Information
