The Portuguese Government welcomes the decision of the Governments of Finland and Sweden, which decided to apply for North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) membership, a democratic and sovereign decision of the two countries that stems from the new security context.

The Portuguese Government considers that the entry of these two countries will represent a significant reinforcement of the Atlantic Alliance and manifests its unequivocal support for a swift membership process.
