Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has agreed to submit Sweden’s bid for NATO membership to the Turkish parliament, Reuters reports.
The agreement was reached after several hours of talks between Erdogan, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
Sweden reaffirmed its stance of not providing support to Kurdish groups and would actively support efforts to reinvigorate Turkey’s EU accession process.
On Thursday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff said that Budapest would no longer block Sweden’s NATO membership bid.
