NATO extends secretary general Stoltenberg’s mandate to 2024
Jens Stoltenberg’s mandate as the Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) will be extended by a further year until October 1, 2024, the transatlantic alliance announced.
In his speech following NATO’s decision, Mr Stoltenberg said on Tuesday the world is “more dangerous.”
The decision is expected to be endorsed by NATO heads of state and government at the upcoming Vilnius Summit on July 11 and 12.
Mentioning the upcoming summit, Stoltenberg said that “bolstering NATO’s deterrence and defence would be high on the agenda.”
Stoltenberg became secretary-general of the transatlantic organisation on October 1, 2014, after having been prime minister of Norway and a United Nations special envoy.
As the alliance’s top international civil servant, his responsibilities include chairing the North Atlantic Council and other key bodies and being the organisation’s main spokesperson.
Member states appointed the secretary general for a four-year term.
It is the fourth time Mr Stoltenberg’s mandate as NATO secretary general has been extended.
