U.S. President Barrack Obama transmitted on Thursday the new National Security Strategy to the Congress, the White House said in a statement.
The new document emphasizes stronger domestic economy and broader cooperation with other countries to face the threats and challenges of the 21st century, in contrast with security doctrines adopted by the Bush administration, which focused on America's sole domination in global affairs.
"Our national security strategy is...focused on renewing American leadership so that we can more effectively advance our interests in the 21st century. We will do so by building upon the sources of our strength at home, while shaping an international order that can meet the challenges of our time," the new doctrine says.
The Obama strategy recognizes the existence of a multi-polar world and calls for joint efforts with other existing and emerging centers of influence "to shape an international order that promotes a just peace."
"We are working to build deeper and more effective partnerships with other key centers of influence — including China, India, and Russia, as well as increasingly influential nations such as Brazil, South Africa, and Indonesia — so that we can cooperate on issues of bilateral and global concern, with the recognition that power, in an interconnected world, is no longer a zero sum game," the document says.
The doctrine also lists the development of the country's defense capability, nuclear non-proliferation and homeland security as top priorities.
