nato and its relevance in present world

what is nato ?
North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance based on the North Atlantic Treaty which was signed on 4 April 1949. The organization constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. NATO's headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium,
its have 28 members which constitutes over 70% of the world's defence spending
Relevance of NATO
There may be no relevance of NATO to the 3rdworld countries like ours, but it is very much important to its member countries. Because it’s not just a military alliance to them, it’s much more than that
1
One clear purpose of NATO in the 21st century would be to keep doing what it has done so well in its first half century
2
NATO’s fundamental purpose after the cold war would shift from defending common territory to defending the common interests of Alliance members. As an alliance of interests, NATO
would be the vehicle of choice to address threats to these shared interests, wherever these  threats  reside
