France ‘fully supports’ Finland’s choice to join NATO – Elysee

France's President Macron meets Germany's Chancellor Scholz, in Berlin

PARIS (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday told his Finnish counterpart that France fully supported the country’s choice to join NATO, the Elysee presidential office said in a statement.

Finland must apply to join the NATO military alliance “without delay”, its president and prime minister said on Thursday, in a historic policy shift triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
