Orban invites Swedish PM to Budapest for talks on NATO membership

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that he had invited Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson to Budapest, and the main topic of their meeting would be negotiations on Sweden's accession to NATO. The Prime Minister announced this on X (Twitter).


"Today I sent an invitation letter to Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson to visit Hungary for talks on Sweden's accession to NATO," Viktor Orban wrote.


Hungary and Turkey are the last two countries that have not yet ratified the protocol on Sweden's accession to the North Atlantic Alliance in their national parliaments, thus blocking Sweden's full membership.
