Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when he plans to lay before Parliament the Accession Protocol relating to Northern Macedonia's membership of NATO; and if he will make a statement.
We look forward to welcoming North Macedonia as the 30th member of NATO. My Written Ministerial Statement to Parliament on 26 February outlined the process of the entering into force of the Prespa Agreement and North Macedonia's NATO Accession. In line with that, UK ratification for North Macedonia's accession to NATO is progressing and we plan to lay the Accession Protocol before Parliament in the coming weeks.
