Türkiye, Finland, Sweden to meet on Friday for NATO bid
ANKARA (AA) – Officials of Türkiye, Finland and Sweden will meet in Finland on Friday to discuss the NATO membership bids of the latter two countries.
On June 28, the trio signed a memorandum at the NATO summit in Madrid to address Türkiye’s security concerns about Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership.
For the implementation of the memorandum, the three countries established a permanent joint mechanism, with the participation of experts from the ministries of foreign affairs, interior and justice, as well as intelligence services and security institutions.
During Friday’s meeting, Türkiye will be represented by presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin and Deputy Foreign Minister Sedat Onal.
According to the memorandum, Finland and Sweden extend their full support to Türkiye against threats to its national security, promising that they will not provide support to YPG/PYD, and FETO.
Türkiye, a NATO member for more than 70 years, has maintained that it will oppose the Nordic countries’ NATO membership if its security concerns are not met.
