Leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries will hold talks with the leaders of partner countries in the Indo-Pacific region on Thursday, the final day of a three-day NATO summit in Washington.

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio will take part in the talks, along with his counterparts from South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, as the leaders of partner countries of the alliance in the Indo-Pacific.

The leaders are to confirm that they will step up cooperation on common security challenges, such as cyberattacks, and disinformation.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to join the talks on the last day of the NATO summit.

On Wednesday, NATO member leaders adopted a summit declaration that accuses China of becoming "a decisive enabler of Russia's war against Ukraine."

The declaration calls on China to stop all material and political support for Russia's war effort, including the transfer of dual-use materials, such as weapons components, equipment, and raw materials.

The NATO declaration also accuses North Korea and Iran of "fueling Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine by providing direct military support to Russia, such as munitions and uncrewed aerial vehicles."

The focal point of the talks on the last day of the NATO summit is to what extent the Atlantic alliance can deepen cooperation with the Indo-Pacific region to deter Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
