former dutch prime minister mark rutte takes over as nato secretary-general.

according to a report by the german press agency on october 1, former dutch prime minister mark rutte took over the post of nato secretary-general after a handover ceremony was held at the nato headquarters in brussels on the 1st.

according to reports, rutte thanked nato allies for their trust in allowing him to succeed former secretary-general stoltenberg. "this is an important position and i will need to work harder," he said.

according to reports, although rutte’s government defense spending was very low when he was prime minister of the netherlands, 32 nato member states appointed him as nato secretary-general this summer after he received support from the united states, germany and the united kingdom.

according to reports, rutte took over at a time when nato, the western defense alliance, is facing challenges. nato faces "more aggressive threats" from russia.

according to reuters, rutte said he was determined to prepare nato to meet future challenges.

according to reports, rutte said that nato must fulfill its commitments to ukraine and help ukraine fight against russia.
