The new prime minister of Sweden, Ulf Kristersson, has assured
Türkiye that his government will fulfill the commitments outlined
in the trilateral agreement for NATO membership in a phone
conversation with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Trend reports citing
Daily
News.
Erdogan and Kristersson spoke over the phone in which the former
congratulated the formation of the new government in Sweden. The
conversation follows a letter sent by Kristersson to Erdogan in the
past week that detailed the actions taken and to be taken by
Stockholm for the membership of NATO. The letter also mentioned
about Kristersson’s intention to pay a visit to Ankara.
Touching upon the letter Kristersson sent him on Oct. 19,
Erdogan said he would be happy to welcome Kristersson in Ankara. He
said that Türkiye stands ready to advance bilateral relations with
the Swedish government in all areas.
“Noting that Ankara is following Prime Minister Kristersson’s
statements of commitment to the trilateral memorandum, President
Erdogan said that the trilateral memorandum would serve as a guide
in the period ahead,” a statement by the Communications Directorate
said. According to the statement, enforcing the Turkish-Swedish
relationship is of common benefit, Erdogan said, underlining the
need to prevent the latter from being taken as hostage by terrorist
organizations.
