Support Sweden's Nato Bid, France Urges Turkey, Hungary

France has called on Turkey and Hungary to fulfill their commitments and support Sweden's application to join NATO, as the bid faces delays. French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna made the plea during a press conference in Helsinki on Thursday. She expressed France's strong desire to see Sweden become a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and urged Turkey and Hungary to honor their previous agreements in this regard. Sweden's pursuit of NATO membership has been met with various challenges, and the support of NATO member states, including Turkey and Hungary, is crucial for the success of its application. Colonna's statement underscores the importance of NATO expansion and collaboration within the alliance. The issue of Sweden's NATO membership has been a topic of discussion and diplomacy, as the country seeks to strengthen its security ties and deepen its cooperation with NATO member states. France's stance reflects its commitment to NATO's principles of collective defense and security cooperation. As the situation evolves, the role of countries like Turkey and Hungary in supporting Sweden's bid will continue to be a point of interest in NATO's efforts to maintain regional stability and security in Europe.
