Romania says yes, clearing the way for Mark Rutte to head Nato

Dutch News  

Outgoing Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte is now set to take over as secretary general of Nato, following the withdrawal of Romania’s candidate Klaus Iohannis. Rutte will be the fourth Dutch leader of Nato, following Dirk Stikker, Joseph Luns and Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. Outgoing secretary general Jens Stoltenberg told a meeting in Canada on Wednesday that Rutte is a “great man” who “strongly believes in the transatlantic bond”. “So Nato will be very good hands, given that Mark Rutte is going to be the next secretary general.”
