  Swedish Prime Minister Andersson met with visiting Stoltenberg on the 13th.

Stoltenberg said at a joint press conference after the meeting that NATO attaches great importance to Turkey's concerns and other issues, and is working closely with Sweden, Finland and Turkey to resolve related issues.

He said that under the current circumstances, it was important for Sweden to send a signal about arms exports and counter-terrorism.

  Sweden's Foreign Minister Linde said in his government's new foreign policy statement on the 10th that Sweden is committed to contributing to the security of the entire NATO, including Turkey.

According to the foreign policy statement, if Sweden becomes a NATO member, it can "change the conditions of arms exports within the scope of national regulations" and will abide by NATO's various programs.

  Sweden and Finland formally submitted their applications to join NATO on May 18.

According to the regulations, NATO must "unanimously agree" on the premise of 30 member states to admit new members.

The Turkish government has repeatedly stressed that when Sweden and Finland seek to join NATO, they must stop supporting the PKK, the Syrian Kurdish armed "People's Protection Units" and the "Gulen Movement", and lift restrictions on Turkey's export of defense equipment.
