Nato set to make Dutch PM Mark Rutte new secretary general

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte is on track to become the next secretary general of Nato, a prestigious role that involves leading the transatlantic military alliance. Rutte, who has been in office since 2010, has garnered support from key Nato countries such as the UK and the US due to his stance on issues such as Ukraine.

Jens Stoltenberg, the current head of Nato, will be stepping down in October after nearly a decade of leadership. Rutte’s only opponent, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, recently withdrew from the race, paving the way for Rutte to assume the role unopposed. The confirmation of Rutte as the next secretary general is expected to happen soon.

Rutte’s appointment as Nato’s next secretary general reflects his strong leadership and diplomatic skills, making him a suitable candidate for the role. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
