Hungary's parliament approved Sweden's bid to join NATO on Monday, clearing the way for the Nordic country becoming the 32nd member of the defence alliance.

Hungary's vote ended months of delays to complete Sweden's accession to NATO and followed Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's visit on Feb. 23, during which the two countries signed an arms deal.

"Sweden is an outstanding country, but we are joining NATO to even better defend all that we are and all that we believe in. We defend our freedom, our democracy and our values together with others," Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Monday.

Sweden joining NATO is a historic step for a Nordic country whose neutrality lasted through two world wars and the simmering conflict of the Cold War.
