NATO and Jordan conclude
Individual Cooperation Programme

On 1 April NATO and Jordan finalised their Individual Cooperation Programme (ICP) under the enhanced Mediterranean Dialogue.  

At their Istanbul Summit in 2004, NATO's Heads of State and Government decided to offer Mediterranean Dialogue partner countries the possibility to agree with NATO Individual Cooperation Programmes, in the framework of the More Ambitious and Expanded Framework for the Mediterranean Dialogue approved at the Summit.

This ICP will contribute to the promotion of political and military ties between the Euro-Atlantic and the Mediterranean regions. Through enhanced security cooperation between NATO and its MD partner Jordan, it will reinforce Mediterranean regional security and stability.

It also helps framing NATO-Jordan political and military cooperation in a more strategic and prospective way.

Jordan's decision to finalise the Individual Cooperation Programme with NATO represents a significant step forward in its cooperation with the Atlantic Alliance.
