Sweden expects Hungary and Turkey to vote soon on the country's bid to join NATO, Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom said in Helsinki after a meeting with his Finnish counterpart, Reuters reported.

"We see the development in Hungary as positive and we judge that there, as with Turkey, a ratification process will soon be concluded when parliament votes on these questions," Billstrom said. "There is nothing that indicates we are not going to get a positive answer from the parliament in Budapest."

Hungary's parliament is scheduled to vote on Sweden and Hungary's bid to join NATO on Oct. 24.
