China News Service, June 20. According to the Russian Satellite Network on the 19th, citing news from the Finnish Presidential Office, the delegations of Finland and Sweden will continue their talks with Turkey on joining NATO in Brussels, Belgium on the 20th local time.
In May, Finland and Sweden formally submitted their applications to join NATO, but were opposed by NATO member Turkey.
Turkey has repeatedly stressed that Finland and Sweden must stop supporting the PKK, the Syrian Kurdish armed "People's Protection Units" and the "Gulen Movement" when they seek to join NATO, and lift restrictions on Turkey's export of defense equipment.
On May 25, the two sides held talks on the issue, but there was no substantial progress.
According to the regulations, NATO must "unanimously agree" on the premise of 30 member states to absorb new members.
