NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is expected to stay in his post for another year, as the alliance’ s portal reports, with discussions centered on the four alliance diplomats’ perspectives. His term is anticipated to be extended on Wednesday, June 28, according to the portal. Within NATO circles, diplomats have highlighted Stoltenberg’s capacity to steer the alliance through crisis situations, pointing to his leadership during turbulent periods as a key asset. A NATO official summed it up bluntly: it is not safe to change the captain during a storm. The anticipated extension is seen as allowing the alliance to concentrate on both short-term and longer-term support for Ukraine, rather than getting sidetracked by leadership debates (Euractiv).
