Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Thursday he was confident an agreement would be found for Sweden and Finland to become part of NATO, a prospect strongly opposed by NATO member Turkey.

"I'm confident it will eventually be possible to come together to a position where it will be possible for Finland and Sweden to join NATO," he said during a joint press conference with his German counterpart Olaf Scholz.
