Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson will meet Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban on Friday ahead of a key parliamentary vote in Budapest on Sweden's stalled bid to join NATO.
His talks with Orban in Budapest will include "defence and security policy cooperation between Hungary and Sweden," the Swedish government said in a statement on Tuesday. Hungary, the last holdout on Sweden's bid to join NATO, will vote on the issue on Monday.
