00:00I welcome the vote by the Turkish Grand National Assembly to ratify Finland's membership in NATO.
00:06All 13 NATO Allies have now ratified the accession protocol.
00:11And I have just spoken with President Sauli Ninistu to congratulate him on this historic occasion.
00:19Finland will formally join our alliance in the coming days.
00:23Their membership will make Finland safer and NATO stronger.
00:27Finland has highly capable forces, advanced capabilities and strong democratic institutions.
00:36So Finland will bring a lot to our alliance.
00:40All Allies made a historic decision last year to invite Finland and Sweden to join our alliance.
00:47Since then, we have seen the fastest ratification process in NATO's modern history.
00:53All Allies agree that the rapid conclusion of the ratification process for Sweden will be in everyone's interest.
01:02I look forward to also welcoming Sweden as a full member of the NATO family as soon as possible.
01:08I look forward to it too.
01:08Again, I look forward to it.
