NATO Names New Secretary-General: Dutch Prime Minister Rutte to Take Over on October 1

Reported about 1 year ago

Following the withdrawal of his only competitor, Romanian President Johannes, Dutch caretaker Prime Minister Rutte is confirmed to take on the role of NATO Secretary-General after Jens Stoltenberg's term ends on October 1. Rutte, supported by key figures from the US, UK, France, and Germany, will need to utilize his diplomatic skills to persuade NATO's resistant members like Turkey and Hungary while enhancing the organization's security. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin, who is visiting Vietnam, criticizes NATO's perceived threat to Asian security and aims to establish a reliable security framework in the Asia-Pacific region. Russia and Vietnam signed several agreements, including in areas like oil, natural gas, nuclear science, and education, but notably different from previous joint defense agreements with North Korea. Experts suggest Putin's visit to Vietnam, despite concerns from the US and allies, is unlikely to have a long-term impact on US-Vietnam relations.
