Sweden's NATO membership expanded to 32 countries as all member states approve. Sweden changed its long-standing policy of military neutrality and applied for membership in NATO in May of last year, along with Finland, which shares a border with Russia.

Turkey approved it last month, and Hungary's parliament will be held on the afternoon of the 26th local time, and on the evening of the 25th Japan time, to vote on approving Sweden's membership. If approved, Sweden will join and NATO will expand to 32 nations.
