AMID SECURITY RETHINK. Australia’s Assistant Foreign Minister Tim Watts, Japan’s Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs Kiyoto Tsuji, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, New Zealand’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul pose for a photo during a meeting of the North Atlantic Council with Indo-Pacific partners at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels on Thursday.
