Ulf Kristersson, who is to be sworn in as Sweden's new prime minister next week, has said he respects Sweden's and Turkey's NATO membership agreement, Bloomberg reported.

Under the supervision of NATO, Sweden and Finland signed an agreement with Turkey in June, according to which Turkey will agree to their membership in NATO in return for the commitments of these two countries regarding the lifting of the arms embargo against Turkey and the extradition of dissidents, especially the Kurds.

Out of 30 NATO members, 28 countries have agreed to the membership of Sweden and Finland, but Turkey and Hungary have not yet announced their final agreement.

Kristersson has said that they would fulfill these commitments, which are related to Sweden and Finland. He emphasized that there are many contacts between these three countries and the process is going well.
