Allies are united and unwavering in collective commitment to ensure the security and defence of our nations. Welcome to the NATO family, Sweden,” President Gitanas Nausėda stated in a message on social network X (previously known as Twitter).
“Finally, Sweden’s NATO accession ratification process is over. This milestone solidifies the Alliance’s efforts to ensure security and prosperity in Europe, North America, and beyond. A crucial step toward global stability,” stated Speaker of the Seimas Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen.
Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė noted on social network X that all 31 NATO members have now ratified Sweden’s membership.
“NATO32 will bring more security for Sweden, for the Baltic-Nordic region, and for the whole of NATO and beyond. As we will soon be celebrating Sweden’s full-fledged membership, I am looking forward to NATO33, which would substantially strengthen European security. Because democracies are stronger together,” stressed Šimonytė.
