Sweden says it's been assured its application to join Nato will finally be ratified by Turkey, more than a year since it applied to join.
Sweden's Foreign Minister Tobias Billström says he met his Turkish counterpart on Tuesday and was told the approval would come within weeks.
Turkey has, so far refused to ratify Sweden's application unless it takes tougher action against Kurdish separatists in Sweden.
Applications to join Nato must be ratified by all current members.
