Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Jens Stoltenberg announced on Tuesday that his term has been extended for a further year to October 1, 2024, following a decision by the alliance's 31 member states.

Stoltenberg tweeted: "Honored by #NATO Allies' decision to extend my term as Secretary General until 1 October 2024. The transatlantic bond between Europe & North America has ensured our freedom & security for nearly 75 years, and in a more dangerous world, our Alliance is more important than ever."
