Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is set to meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, which is likely going to be the moment when he submits Sweden's NATO accession documents and the country officially joins the military alliance. Hungary on Thursday afternoon, Stockholm time, handed over its ratification of Sweden as the last country to do so. "Sweden is formally joining the NATO Alliance on March 7, 2024, becoming the 32nd Ally," wrote the White House earlier in the day.
"Sweden is a strong democracy with a highly capable military that shares our values and vision for the world. Having Sweden as a NATO Ally will make the United States and our Allies even safer," added the White House's statement.
On March 11, Sweden's flag will raise in front of NATO headquartes in Brussels.
