Finland's Parliament Begins Discussions on NATO Membership

Finland's Parliament has commenced discussions on the possibility of joining NATO, a move that comes in light of the country's extensive border with Russia. This was reported by Global News.

According to Prime Minister Sanna Marin, Finland has been a close partner of NATO but has maintained a non-aligned stance in military matters. “However, now, its defense and security need strengthening, and the decision to apply for NATO membership could be made in the coming weeks,” Marin stated.
