Glad to announce that after the meeting I hosted with @RTErdogan & @SwedishPM, President Erdogan has agreed to forward #Sweden's accession protocol to the Grand National Assembly ASAP & ensure ratification. This is an historic step which makes all #NATO Allies stronger & safer.
We have tonight after some negotiations in Vilnius reached an agreement with Türkiye on Sweden’s membership in NATO, which means that ratification will now commence.
The PM and the President have shook hands on the content. https://t.co/nqDg8Is0Y5
US intention to lift the State Sponsor of Terrorism designation of #Sudan is momentous. It acknowledges the change in Sudan and @SudanPMHamdok efforts. It enhances its integration into international community and access to world economy. EU fully supports Sudan transition. #AUEU
In 2018 Sweden took the initiative to a Security Council resolution underlining the link btw conflict & threat of famine, condemning starving as a method of warfare & demanding humanitarian access. Today’s #NobelPeacePrice is also a recognition of this landmark resolution.
One year since the historical transition in Sudan courageous steps have been taken. Sweden & the EU continue to stand together with Sudan in its democratic transition.
The decision by the transition government of #Sudan to repeal the #apostasy law is a great step on the road to improve human rights in Sudan. It is a testament to the transitional gvt’s commitment to human rights reforms.

The people of Sudan have shown extraordinary courage & determination in their quest for change & peace.
But unless the international community mobilizes support quickly, Sudan's democratic transition could be short-lived, with profound consequences in the country & beyond.
Ett andra flygplan landade igår i #Sudan som del av luftbron arrangerad av @eu_echo och Sverige med skyddsutrustning från @RodaKorset och humanitär personal för att bekämpa #covid19. Viktig humanitär insats.
