Tobias Billstrom, the foreign minister of Sweden, announced on Thursday that he will travel to Ankara to confer with Turkish officials about Sweden's proposed accession to NATO.

Following a meeting with his German counterpart  Annalena Baerbock, Billstorm argued that he plans "to go to Ankara in the fall to continue discussions, and in parallel discussions should be held with the authorities of all three countries, namely Sweden, Finland, and Turkey… And when these discussions are completed, then the Turkish parliament will have the opportunity to ratify [Sweden's accession to NATO]."

Based on the early November visit of Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson to Turkey, Billstorm said that "I am personally convinced that the prime minister's visit to Ankara showed that there is still a large space for dialogue [with Turkey]."
