Signs in recent weeks indicate that Turkey is preparing to ratify Finland’s accession ahead of Sweden’s, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Wednesday during a visit to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin.
“We are also prepared for this situation,” said Kristersson. But make no secret of the fact that Sweden prefers joint accession with Finland. “We believe we are ready for ratification. But we respect that only Turkey can make Turkish decisions,” he said.
Scholz reiterated that Germany wanted the two Nordic countries to become NATO members very quickly. In terms of duration, it is also a fast accession process. “But we already have the goal that this will become a thing soon and that Sweden will become a member of NATO very soon,” said Scholz.
“It’s good for Sweden, it’s good for NATO and our alliance, which in recent months has once again underlined its importance and significance.” North Atlantic cooperation is necessary for security in Europe.
