After Russia invaded Ukraine, Finland and Sweden expressed interest in joining the mutual defense pact NATO.
Turkey objected.
BBC now reports those objections have been resolved.
Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg said Sweden agreed to step up its work on Turkish extradition requests of suspected militants.
The two Nordic nations will also lift their restrictions on selling weapons to Turkey, he said.
Finland's President Niinisto said the three countries signed the joint memorandum "to extend their full support against threats to each other's security".
Sweden's Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said it was "a very important step for Nato".
Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's office said it "got what it wanted" from Sweden and Finland.
If these two additional nations join NATO, how will that affect Russia's dealings with the rest of the world in the next 5 to 10 years? Will it tend to divide the world into NATO / EU, vs others, including China, Russia, & North Korea? Meaning, even if this looks like a victory in short term, how will it affect globalization as humanity transitions to low Carbon prosperity?
