Hungary and Turkey will continue to coordinate their policy on Sweden’s bid to join the NATO military alliance, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said, after the two nations’ leaders met.
Since the national legislatures in Budapest and Ankara are both in recess, the question of when ratification may take place will be taken up during the fall, Szijjarto said on Sunday. He spoke after Prime Minister Viktor Orban hosted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Budapest.
The process has dragged on despite Turkey lifting its objections last month after Sweden pledged to follow a new plan to crack down on Kurdish separatist groups there. Hungary, for its part, has said it’s following Turkey’s cue in the ratification process, without saying why.
