Mark Rutte, the former Dutch prime minister, is set to become NATO’s new secretary general, leveraging his experience in coalition-building at a national level to lead the global military organization.
Rutte’s candidacy was solidified after Romania’s president withdrew, leaving him as the sole nominee for the position. His diplomatic skills were put to the test as he navigated support from various NATO member countries.
Rutte is praised for his pragmatism and ability to work with leaders across the political spectrum, making him a valuable asset for NATO. With a background in history and politics, he has a wealth of experience to offer in maintaining consensus and driving action within the organization.
