Its parliament Finland will vote on February 28 to pass the necessary legislation for the country to be able to to eventually join NATOthe head of the parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee said today.
“The goal is to complete the process of changing the national legislation required to join NATO this legislative term,” Yossi Hala-aho told reporters today, two weeks before parliament is dissolved ahead of parliamentary elections on April 2.
The relevant legislation is expected to be approved by the Finnish Parliament, as well most MPs are in favor of the country joining NATO. If this happens, Helsinki will be one step closer than Stockholm to joining the Alliance.
In May, as APE-MPE reminds, Finland and Sweden jointly applied to join NATOafter Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However Turkeya member country of the Alliance, has not yet validated their requestbecause, as he complains, the two countries support Kurdish terrorists.
The two Nordic countries cannot join NATO until their request is ratified by Turkey and Hungary.
Sweden and Finland have indicated that they wish to join NATO at the same time, but the leaders of the two countries have not ruled out the possibility of Helsinki achieving this goal first.
