    Qatar conference discusses NATO cooperation with the broader Middle East: http://www.nato.int/docu/update/2005/12-\
    december/e1201a.htm

    The discussions focused on security developments in the Gulf region and the way forward for NATO's Istanbul Cooperation Initiative with countries in the broader Middle East region.
