Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

There is a huge difference between friends and allies and partners and it is not all to do with defence. You have to add in history, trade, tourism, and other governmental ties etc. People tend to think when you say ally that you instantly mean defence.

While I am not agreeing or disagreeing with his statement I understand where he is coming from.
