Stoltenberg announces one-year extension as NATO chief

“Honoured by NATO Allies’ decision to extend my term as Secretary General until 1 October 2024,” Jens Stoltenberg tweeted, according to POLITICO. 

“The transatlantic bond between Europe & North America has ensured our freedom & security for nearly 75 years, and in a more dangerous world, our Alliance is more important than ever,” he added.

Stoltenberg, a former prime minister of Norway, has been the transatlantic security alliance’s leader since 2014 and his tenure had already been extended three previous times.
