"Orban and Turkish Parliament Back Sweden's NATO Membership Bid"

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban expressed his government's support for Sweden's NATO membership in a phone call with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. Orban stated that he will continue to urge the Hungarian national assembly to vote in favor of Sweden's accession to NATO and conclude the ratification at the earliest opportunity. Stoltenberg confirmed Orban and his government's backing for Sweden's NATO membership and expressed anticipation for the ratification when parliament reconvenes, with Turkey's parliament already having approved Sweden's membership in the alliance.
