Partners bound together in common cause, often by treaty
An association of common interests

It is dreadful English.
The unison is likely to come from \"acting in unison\" meaning \'acting together\', \'acting as one\' or \'working in close cooperation\'

Actually I don\'t like my last suggestion \"United by our mutual quality\" for a political text - it has to much of a \'business\' feel.
All the other suggestions I\'ve made work well for political / diplomatic rhetoric.
Given it\'s political rhetoric, you might like to consider:
\"United by our common outlook\"
\"A unity based on our shared outlook\"

A 'win-win' situation. A union based upon quality.
A union can be any relationship either negative or positive. Other possibilities: partners, associations, etc., can be used determined by the style of the text.
By qualifying that the union is based upon qualities, ‘common interests’ is suggested and infers a positive cooperation or a ‘win-win’ situation.

a unison based on quality relationships
I guess poor phraseology does not exclude quality relationships, otherwise those people's unison would be in trouble.
They probably meant unison, indicating working as one unit. To achieve this, the relationship between the parts has to be well established. So they probably did not mean to emphasize their focus on quality as much as to emphasize the quality of the relationships.
Hope this helps,
Alaa

Sorry for the truncated response below, Kudoz.net allowed to exceed the message limit. Here is my full response:
\"or it is likely describing a need for sound ties binding different parties in a way that ensures that they act in synchrony. This explains \"unison\", and explains the presence of relationships and quality in one vain, albeit poorly juxtaposed.
I also see neither British not US peculiarities in the language. So it can go both ways.\"

: but isn't it more likely to mean that they are united by the qualities (characteristics) that they have in common (share). Also if using 'quality relationships', it should be used in an Americ.English context rather than European (except by bus.consult.s)

A relationship based on shared values
"Unison" doesn't seem like the right word here; neither does "qualities"
Based on the context,I think the third phrase in the list describes a relationship based on shared values, ideals, as opposed to the more pragmatic partnerships defined by the first two, which are motivated by issues of security and self interest.

: ultimatley the meaning can be boiled down to this; although "unison" is not such a bad word in this case
