MADRID, 30 June 2022, (TON): Japanese Prime Minister KISHIDA Fumio on Wednesday expressed support for Sweden’s bid to join NATO in a meeting with his Swedish counterpart, Magdalena Andersson.
Kishida told Andersson “we support historic decision. We also express our respect for its efforts.”
NATO, which opened a two-day summit in Madrid, is expected to grant membership to Sweden and Finland after Turkey switched to support their participation.
Kishida said “Japan and Sweden will hold the presidency of the Group of Seven major powers and the European Union, respectively, next year.”
