In a statement, writes the organisation to its 29 member states "expresses its support for the secretary-general's efforts to adapt and modernise the Nato and ensure that it (the alliance) continues to be suitable for the future".
and writes on Twitter that he is honored about the decision to "extend my time as secretary-general to the september 30, 2022".
His time at Natorodret has been stormy, inter alia, in the form of increased tensions with Russia, a more complex relation to the USA with Donald Trump as president, and with major disagreements between the member states.
