Finnish President Sauli Niinisto will travel to Turkey to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday to discuss reconstruction efforts and Finland's and Sweden's NATO memberships. Turkey and Hungary are the only NATO members still to ratify the Nordic nations' applications, but Ankara looks ready to ratify Finland's membership. Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson acknowledged Tuesday that the likelihood of Finland joining NATO before Sweden had "increased" in recent weeks, but stressed entry was just a matter of time.
