The search for a successor to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg (64) has failed for the time being. In the absence of a candidate acceptable to all 31 alliance states, the Norwegian will remain in office for another year, according to information from alliance circles.
According to information from the DPA news agency, the formal decision to extend the contract is expected to be taken next Tuesday at a meeting of the permanent representatives of the NATO countries in Brussels.
Stoltenberg himself had indicated several times in recent months that he actually had no new term in mind. According to information from his environment, he now wants to continue “out of a sense of duty”. US politicians in particular have repeatedly praised the 64-year-old for his leadership since the start of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Stoltenberg has done an ‘incredible job’, for example, said US President Joe Biden (80) in mid-June. (SDA)
