"I hope for a speedy ratification process," said Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde at a joint press conference with her Finnish counterpart and NATO Secretary-General, APA reports.

"We signed a tripartite memorandum that also addresses Turkiye's concerns on terrorism and security. We respect this memorandum. We will resolve the issues arising from it and I hope will work on a joint mechanism. I believe that all three countries understand that this memorandum is beneficial for everyone and it will be accepted in the same form in the Turkish parliament. Our membership will contribute to the security of all allies, not just Sweden and Finland," said Ann Linde.
