Sweden Officially Joins NATO, Ending Decades Of Neutrality

Sweden has formally joined NATO as the 32nd member of the alliance — ending decades of neutrality — as concerns about Russian aggression in Europe have spiked following the war in Ukraine.

Sweden is now a NATO member. Thank you all Allies for welcoming us as the 32nd member. We will strive for unity, solidarity and burden-sharing, and will fully adhere to the Washington Treaty values: freedom, democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. Stronger together.
