Hungary May Approve Sweden's NATO Application

Published: 2024-01-23

Hungary's Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, has invited Sweden's Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, for further talks as Hungary soon may approve Sweden's NATO application.

Orbán emphasized the importance of mutual trust between the two countries in a letter to Kristersson, stating that it should be the foundation of any political or security agreements.

Despite the invitation for discussions, Sweden's Foreign Minister, Tobias Billström, sees no reason to negotiate at this stage but opens for what he calls 'dialogue'.
