Hungary's foreign minister said on Tuesday that he had been in touch with his Turkish counterpart about a ratification of Sweden's NATO membership and if there is a shift in Turkey's stance Hungary will not delay the process.
Sweden, dropping a longtime policy of military non-alignment following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has set its sights on formal accession at NATO's July 11-12 summit but, while it has strong support from other members including the United States, both Turkey and Hungary have so far blocked ratification.
Earlier on Tuesday Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan voiced his country's reluctance to let Sweden into NATO and called on Sweden to fulfill its commitments under a deal it struck last year in Madrid aimed at addressing Ankara's security concerns.
