Watch again: Norway's king hosts Nato foreign ministers at Oslo meeting

Watch las Norway's King Harald welcomed Nato foreign ministers to Oslo as the military alliance hosts an informal meeting on Wednesday, 31 May.
It comes as Sweden announced new anti-terrorism legislation it hopes will allow it to join the military alliance.
Sweden applied for Nato membership alongside Finland after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
Finland joined the military alliance in April, but Sweden's bid has been hindered by Turkey.
Turkey has ratified its accession but maintains that Sweden harbour members of militant groups it considers terrorists.
"Sweden has not previously prohibited participation in a terrorist organisation. We will do this now," Swedish foreign minister Tobias Billstrom said on Wednesday.
Among those attending the informal meeting was UK foreign secretary James Cleverly, who the UK foreign office says will call for Sweden’s swift accession to the alliance ahead of the Vilnius Summit in July.

@@haraldbjthunem4059 Some said this and I like the quote "These are just some valid concerns that drives many people to wonder if there is law governing US,UK,Nato wrongdoings: 1.what International law gives US the right to invade Iraq 2.what International law gives US the right to bomb Nordstream Pipes without any threat or provocation towards US (it is an Infrastructure that millions depends on) 3. What International law gives US the right to more than 860 military bases called Warmongering Forces globally, despite having UN Peacekeeping Forces. 4. What International law gives US the right to wage war with any country it wants to enjoy its power of destruction. 5. What International law ensures that UN votes are fair and just, for the peace of the world it is so designed for and NOT just taking sides like the Nordstream voting 6. What International law gives US the right to attack China's Sovereignty since Taiwan is under China rule from 1945. 7. What International law gives Taiwan the right to break away from China as it is under China Rule since 1945. It is the US law of fear and aggression 8. What International law gives Philippines the right to stage foreign US military bases and activities to threaten the peace of its neighbors and SCS. It is the US law of fear and aggression. 9. What International law exempt US presidents from war crimes committed as opposed to Putin to be arrested by ICC If at all China is wrong because it violates International law in SCS so designed for US benefits, then the “9-dash line” needs to be reviewed and re-inacted only by the countries involved under the supervision of UN(excluding US), provided it acts justly and impartially for the good of the world"

@@mwanykange Well-known tactics when u are afraid of the real question: change focus & attention . I don't want to discuss USA with you, at all this time. THIS IS ABOUT EUROPE. And UKRAINE 🇺🇦 is the 2.largest Europeian country that have been brutally invaded by the great emperial aggresser, Russia . Ukraine is a souvereign state just like where you live. Putin want to delete the Ukrainians state and turn it into a Russian region, totally controlled from Kremlin- Moscow. We will NEVER accept this to happen. Shame on you advocating the false FSB -narrative. Support UKRAINE, like most civilized people do . ❤️🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦❤️
