布林肯国务卿的声明：芬兰加入北约

2023年4月4日  在我们庆祝北约成立74周年的这个历史性纪念日，我们也欢迎芬兰成为北约的第31个盟国。芬兰在北约联盟中将变得更强大、更安全，而联盟有了芬兰这个盟友，也会更强大、更安全。芬兰拥有一支非常有战斗力的军队，并一直积极参与北约领导的行动；芬兰还与我们拥有共同的价值观和强大的民主机制。我们相信，芬兰的加入将加强我们的集体防御，并提高我们应对欧洲-大西洋地区的安全挑战的能力。 

俄罗斯去年对乌克兰的进一步入侵，反而促成了普京总统想要避免的事情：一个更强大、更团结的跨大西洋联盟。瑞典也是一个强大而有实力的合作伙伴，并已准备好加入北约。我们敦促土耳其和匈牙利毫不拖延地批准瑞典的加入议定书，以便我们能尽快欢迎瑞典加入北约联盟。 

北约已经在欧洲协助维护了70多年的和平与稳定。它在促进全世界的稳定和基于规则的国际秩序方面也发挥了关键作用。芬兰加入北约联盟将推动这些共同目标。

Finland’s Accession to NATO

04/04/2023 10:22 AM EDT
Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

On this historic day as we mark the 74th anniversary of NATO, we also welcome Finland as NATO’s 31st Ally.  Finland is stronger and safer within the Alliance, and the Alliance is stronger and safer with Finland as its Ally.  Finland has a highly capable military and has been an active participant in NATO-led operations; it also shares our values and strong democratic institutions.  We are confident Finland’s membership will strengthen our collective defense and enhance our ability to respond to security challenges in the Euro-Atlantic area.

Russia’s further invasion into Ukraine last year precipitated the very thing President Putin wanted to avoid: a stronger, more unified, Transatlantic Alliance.  Sweden is also a strong and capable partner that is ready to join NATO.  We encourage Türkiye and Hungary to ratify the accession protocols for Sweden without delay so we can welcome Sweden into the Alliance as soon as possible.

NATO has helped maintain peace and stability in Europe for over 70 years.  It has also played a critical role in promoting stability and the international rules-based order around the world.  Finland’s membership in the Alliance will advance these shared goals.
