Finland Joins NATO Our warmest congratulations to the Republic of Finland for joining NATO as the 31st member state on 4 April. Despite all the initial difficulties, this was the fastest accession process in the Alliance’s history, a testimony to not only the unprecedented cohesion and determination of all allied governments, but also to Finland’s considerable contribution to trans-Atlantic security. We plan to deepen further our already close ties with our Finnish colleagues. And we look forward to Sweden joining soon!
