Finland will not join NATO without Sweden should the latter run into an impasse on its ascension path, Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said during a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Helsinki on Sunday.
“I say that Sweden’s case is ours. That means we will go further hand in hand,” Niinisto stated.
The NATO chief, for his part, signaled that the alliance has not imposed any deadline to accept the bids of Finland and Sweden but seeks to iron out the differences between them and Turkey “as soon as possible.”
