    Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban votes along with lawmakers next to deputy premier Zsolt Semjen on Finland's bid to join NATO at the parliament in Budapest, Hungary, March 27, 2023 (AP).

Finland's bid to become a member of NATO has been approved by the Hungarian Parliament on Monday. With Hungary's approval, 29 of the 30 NATO member states have now approved Finland's bid to ditch its longstanding non-alignment decision and become a member of NATO.

In Hungary, 182 members of Parliament voted in favor of Finland's accession to the alliance while only 6 voted against it. For Finland to join the alliance, the Nordic country still needs the approval of Turkey.
