WASHINGTON – Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said Canada was in favour of a “quick” accession to the NATO military alliance for Sweden and Finland.

“Canada not only favors their accession (to NATO), I would say we favor a quick accession of these two countries,” Joly told reporters on Monday.

Sweden’s government has formally decided to apply for NATO membership, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said on Monday, a day after Finland said it will also apply for membership in NATO.
