Turkish-Swedish NATO deal is done, but when will the Hungarian Parliament vote on it?

Lithuania organised a successful summit in Vilnius and very important decisions were taken, Zsolt Németh told in connection with the recently concluded NATO summit.

The chairman of the Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee said it was “extremely gratifying that after the agreement with Finland, the Turkish-Swedish agreement has now been concluded”.

Hungary, by the way, I think, has served this with its own approach. We have reason to be pleased that we have managed to bring this to a successful conclusion, He said InfoRádió, and later reiterated that “close Hungarian cooperation with Turkey has contributed to the conclusion of this agreement”.

According to the Fidesz politician, the approach of conducting peace diplomacy has received its most serious contribution as a result of this NATO summit. “We have taken a big step towards peace with this summit”, he stressed.

On the need for an extraordinary session of parliament to ensure that Hungary is not the last country to ratify Sweden’s accession, Zsolt Németh said:

I don’t see the need. The negotiations on this issue will start now, but I would like to point out that the Turkish Grand National Assembly will meet on 1 October and will put the issue of the ratification of Sweden’s accession to NATO as a top priority on the agenda of the session following 1 October. We will start work in mid-September,”

he noted.

As we wrote before, Lithuania’s capital, Vilnius, hosted NATO’s latest summit, which US President Joe Biden and Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, also attended. Prior to taking the family photo, Biden shook hands with only one country leader, Orbán – VIDEO
