ai generated text
Mark Rutte, the former Prime Minister of the Netherlands, has been selected as the next Secretary-General of NATO, succeeding Jens Stoltenberg on October 1, 2024. The appointment became a formality after Romanian President Klaus Iohannis withdrew from the race. Rutte will take over at a time when NATO is facing significant challenges due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Mr Rutte will assume his functions as Secretary-General from Oct 1, 2024, when Mr Stoltenberg's term expires after ten years at the helm of the Alliance.
The North Atlantic Council decided to appoint Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as the next Secretary-General of NATO, succeeding Jens Stoltenberg.
All that whining and moaning about Trump - I hear that constantly over the last couple of days, let's stop doing that.
It is a tremendous honour to be appointed Secretary-General of NATO. The Alliance is and will remain the cornerstone of our collective security. Leading this organisation is a responsibility I do not take lightly. I'm grateful to all the Allies for placing their trust in me.
True leadership requires the ability to listen and understand different perspectives.
Mark is a true trans-Atlanticist, a strong leader, and a consensus-builder. I wish him every success as we continue to strengthen NATO for the challenges of today and tomorrow. I know I am leaving NATO in good hands.
I warmly welcome NATO Allies' choice of Mark Rutte as my successor. Mark is a true transatlanticist, a strong leader and a consensus-builder.
