The COVID-19 pandemic phenomenon can be considered a multidimensional global crisis when the great powers and regional powers’ foreign policy actions had intensified in order to influence the reconfiguration of the geopolitical architecture of the international security system and the security complex structure in different regions of the world. The main idea of this research paper consists in the investigation of the impact of the geopolitical context of the regional security environment during the global pandemic generated by the new type of COVID-19 Coronavirus on the deepening or superficiality of the political-military cooperation relations between the Republic of Moldova and the North Atlantic Alliance.
