President Obama redefines America's national security strategy, stressing multilateralism and revitalization of the country's economic and moral strength.

Released Thursday, the 52-page document considers terrorism as one threat to the homeland, along with natural disasters, cyber attacks and pandemics.

The document calls for multilateral approaches to world issues, making it different from the two security plans that were submitted by former US president G. W. Bush.

Still, it makes clear that "the United States must reserve the right to act unilaterally," the Los Angeles Times reports.

The document also urges the United States to build stronger ties to allies. It points to the emerging powers of India, Brazil and China and says the United States needs to manage the emergence of new powers.

Under a 1986 law, US presidents are required to annually present the Congress with a strategic statement. However, most administrations have not fully adhered to the requirement. The report is the first submitted by Obama.

The document is also used as a framework for strategy documents that are produced by other parts of the government, like the Pentagon's national defense strategy.
