On Wednesday, the 32 member countries of NATO agreed to appoint outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as the next NATO Secretary General, succeeding Jens Stoltenberg on October 1st. Rutte, who led the Netherlands for 14 years, is seen as capable of leading NATO during challenging times. His appointment has garnered support from leaders of major European countries like Germany and France. Rutte's main task will be to balance the different interests of the 32 NATO member states and present a unified front externally. Despite being in power for a long time, Rutte is known for his ability to navigate crises smoothly and is expected to focus more on diplomatic strategy rather than confrontation like his predecessor.
