The President and Prime Minister of Finland issued a joint statement on the country’s accession to NATO.
Sauli Niinistö and Sanna Marin are unanimous in their decision: Helsinki must immediately apply to join the North Atlantic Alliance.
We hope that the national steps that are still needed to make this decision will be quickly taken over the next few days, – Statement of the country’s leaders by MIA Rossiya Segodnya.
According to the president and head of government, NATO membership will strengthen Finland’s security.
In addition, the security of the Alliance itself can be strengthened by the inclusion of Suomi in its composition, politicians note.
Let us recall that Sweden previously announced the possibility of joining NATO. Then it was reported that Stockholm could submit an application at the same time as Helsinki.
