It has been claimed that the 47-year-old Belgian Foreign Minister Sophie Wilmes will replace Jens Stoltenberg in NATO. Wilmes, who will be the first woman to assume the post if she becomes NATO Secretary General, is known as a cold-blooded politician who does not speak on uncertain issues.
REFUSED TO COMMENT
It has been claimed that former Prime Minister of Belgium and current Foreign Minister Sophie Wilmes will replace Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, whose duty in NATO will end on 1 October. Wilmes, who was prime minister in the interim government in Belgium in the first days of the coronavirus epidemic, avoided commenting on the claim in question.
After Charles Michel, a member of the Liberal Party, who became the President of the European Union (EU) Council, Wilmes’ name was also welcomed by the Belgians as the general secretary of NATO, another important international organization.
HE WILL BE THE FIRST WOMAN TO ASSUME THIS POSITION.
Experts stated that Wilmes is a well-known politician in the international community with his serious political performance, and that he knows English and French very well, the two official languages of NATO, that it is a good choice for the post of secretary general. Wilmes will also be the first woman to hold the post if she becomes NATO Secretary General.
Returning from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) to hold official talks with King Philippe of Belgium and the Queen, Wilmes was asked about the allegations that he would become NATO’s new secretary-general, and it was reported that he avoided commenting on this issue. Wilmes, who is seen as a successful leader in this task, is known as a cold-blooded politician who does not speak on uncertain issues. Wilmes, 47, a member of the Belgian Francophone Liberal Party (MR), is married and has four children.
On the other hand, Stoltenberg is expected to take over the Presidency of the Bank of Norway (Norges Bank) on 1 December.
