Anders Fogh Rasmussen appointed new NATO Secretary General
Sat, 04.04.2009
Anders Fogh Rasmussen is the right man for the job, said current NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. This conviction is shared by all heads of state and government of NATO member states. He will modernise NATO and align it with the demands of the 21st century.
"I look forward to continuing the excellent work of Jaap de Hoop Scheffer,” said the Danish Prime Minister. Together, every effort will now be made to ensure that NATO is equipped to cope with the new challenges facing it.
Concept of networked security
But there was more on the agenda than the appointment of a new Secretary General. The North Atlantic Council with heads of state and government mandated the appropriate instances to devise a new strategic concept.
