BRUSSELS (Reuters) – NATO allies on Thursday extended the term of Jens Stoltenberg at the helm of the Western military alliance by a year until Sept.30, 2023.
“As we face the biggest security crisis in a generation, we stand united to keep our alliance strong and our people safe,” Stoltenberg said in referring to Russia’s war against Ukraine, which borders eastern NATO members Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary.
