Hungary clearly supports the accession of Sweden to NATO and will ratify its application soon, the alliance's secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday.

"Good call with Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary. I welcome the clear support of the Prime Minister and his government for Sweden's NATO membership," Stoltenberg said in a post on X.

"I look forward to the ratification as soon as parliament reconvenes."
