Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said his government considers the Kurdish paramilitary group PKK as a terrorist organization on Tuesday, after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan about countering terror threats to the country.
Kristersson said his government would “live up to” the security commitments it made prior to being invited to join NATO. He added that his government has committed US$1 million to the NATO anti-terrorist trust fund.
The Swedish prime minister also said he had “offered ways” to Erdoğan that his country could help Turkey fight terrorism.
Turkey and Hungary are the only two NATO members who have yet to ratify the treaty changes that would approve membership for Finland and Sweden.
