Summary/Abstract: The Heads of State and Government of the NATO nations decided to fulfill the Alliance's mission in ensuring "their common defense and security". When NATO has put into practice this Strategic Concept, the Alliance will be more "effective in a changing world, against new threats, with new capabilities and new partners". This Concept reasserts the bond between NATO nations to defend one another against attack, and against new threats and "to keep the door to NATO open" to all European states "that meet the standards of membership", because enlargement contributes to the Alliance's "goal of a United Europe, free and at peace".
