Nato chief calls on Turkey to ratify Sweden and Finland membership – BBC News

Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has been greeted by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey’s capital Ankara on a visit to express support and offer help following the devastating earthquakes.

Mr Stoltenberg is also trying to convince Turkey to ratify Sweden and Finland as members of Nato.

Finland and Sweden applied to join the military alliance following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Applications to join must be approved by all member countries – which include the US and UK - and Ankara isn't yet on board.
