Türkiye, Sweden, Finland to meet under joint mechanism on Aug. 26
ANKARA (AA) – With Sweden and Finland agreeing to cooperate on Türkiye’s fight against terrorism, the three countries are set to convene on Aug. 26 for the first meeting of the joint mechanism committed under the trilateral memorandum, the Turkish foreign minister said on Thursday.
Addressing reporters on the last day of the 13th Ambassadors Conference in Türkiye’s capital Ankara, Mevlut Cavusoglu said Sweden and Finland are yet to deliver their commitments arising from the trilateral memorandum signed at the NATO summit in Madrid in June and they haven’t taken any solid steps on Türkiye’s requests on extradition of terrorists yet.
The top diplomat described the remarks by Swedish and Finnish authorities on their promises as “well intentioned,” and reiterated Türkiye’s desire to see concrete steps from the two countries.
