Jens Stoltenberg
The Alliance believes that the extension of Stoltenberg as Secretary General is a more reliable solution than the election of a new candidate.
The mandate of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg could be extended for another year, Politico reports on Monday, January 30.
Most officials believe that the extension of Stoltenberg as NATO Secretary General is a more reliable solution than the election of a new candidate. He is perceived as a high-ranking official who can keep his cool in times of crisis.
“Stoltenberg wants to stay,” said a senior NATO diplomat.
However, his re-election also causes concern. Going forward, the vote for a new secretary general could coincide with the competition for the “best positions in the EU” in 2024, not to mention the upcoming US presidential election.
Recall that in March 2022, the leaders of the NATO countries agreed, due to the outbreak of war in Ukraine, to extend the mandate of the Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. He will remain in office until September 30, 2023.
