From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC), a post–Cold War North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) institution, is a multilateral forum created to improve relations between NATO and non-NATO countries in Europe and parts of Asia on the European periphery. States meet to cooperate and discuss political and security issues. It was formed on May 29, 1997 at a Ministers’ meeting held in Sintra, Portugal, as the successor to the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC), which was created in 1991.

The EAPC provides an overall political framework for NATO’s cooperation with its partner countries in the Euro-Atlantic area. It works alongside the Partnership for Peace (PfP), which was created in January 1994. There are 50 members, including all 30 NATO member countries and 20 Partnership for Peace countries.[1]
