"From today, 31 flags will fly together — A symbol of our unity and our solidarity. Joining NATO is good for Finland. It is good for Nordic security. And it is good for NATO as a whole. Finland brings substantial and highly capable forces, expertise in national resilience, and years of experience working side by side with NATO Allies. I am deeply proud to welcome Finland as a full-fledged member of our Alliance. And I look forward to also welcoming Sweden as soon as possible. At times like these, friends and Allies are more important than ever. And Finland now has the strongest friends and Allies in the world."
