This agreement may provide both the precedent and the basis for NATO's future role in the world. However, key members the alliance have differing vision's of the future of NATO. The U.S. and U.K. on one side, and France, Gernamy, and Belgium on the other.

Still left to discuss is the impact of the 3 kidnapped Turks on Turkey's position with regard to the agreement, and to the future of NATO.
