A parliamentary delegation from Hungary said it supports Sweden's NATO membership bid after meeting the speaker of the Swedish parliament to iron out what Hungary's governing party has called 'political disputes.'
The parliamentary delegation also met with Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström, who said that ”we assume the ratification will take place shortly.”
Hungary is the only NATO member country besides Turkey that hasn’t yet approved Sweden and Finland’s joint application to join to Western military alliance. The northern European neighbors sought NATO membership in May in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, dropping their long-standing positions of military neutrality.
“We talked about strengthening and improving bilateral relations and understanding each other’s constitutional traditions,” he told TT.
