==Relationship with other intelligence agencies==
===Foreign intelligence services===
The role and functions of the CIA are roughly equivalent to those of the [[Federal Intelligence Service]] (BND) in [[Cabinet of Germany|Germany]], [[MI6]] in the [[Government of the United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], the [[Australian Secret Intelligence Service]] (ASIS) in [[Australian Government|Australia]], the [[Directorate-General for External Security]] (DGSE) in [[Government of France|France]], the [[Foreign Intelligence Service (Russia)|Foreign Intelligence Service]] in [[Government of Russia|Russia]], the [[Ministry of State Security (China)|Ministry of State Security]] (MSS) in [[Government of China|China]], the [[Research and Analysis Wing]] (RAW) in [[Government of India|India]], the [[Inter-Services Intelligence]] (ISI) in [[Government of Pakistan|Pakistan]], the [[General Intelligence Service (Egypt)|General Intelligence Service]] in [[Politics of Egypt|Egypt]], [[Mossad]] in [[Cabinet of Israel|Israel]], and the [[National Intelligence Service (South Korea)|National Intelligence Service]] (NIS) in [[Government of South Korea|South Korea]].
The CIA was instrumental in the establishment of intelligence services in several U.S. allied countries, including Germany's BND and Greece's [[National Intelligence Service (Greece)|EYP]] (then known as KYP).<ref>Blum, William.

The closest links of the U.S. intelligence community to other foreign intelligence agencies are to Anglophone countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Special communications signals that intelligence-related messages can be shared with these four countries.<ref name="DMS1999-03-19">{{cite web |url=https://fas.org/sgp/othergov/dod/genser.pdf |title=Zdarm (Defense Messaging Service) ''Genser'' (General Service) Message Security Classifications, Categories, and Marking Phrase Requirements Version 1.2 |date=March 19, 1999 |author=US Defense Information Services Agency |website=Federation of American Scientists |access-date=June 27, 2015 |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924140436/http://www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/dod/genser.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> An indication of the United States' close operational cooperation is the creation of a new message distribution label within the main U.S. military communications network. Previously, the marking of NOFORN (i.e., No Foreign Nationals) required the originator to specify which, if any, non-U.S. countries could receive the information. A new handling caveat, USA/AUS/CAN/GBR/NZL ''[[Five Eyes]]'', used primarily on intelligence messages, gives an easier way to indicate that the material can be shared with Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and New Zealand.
