Former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg returning to government in Norway as finance minister
Tuesday, 4 February 2025 () Former NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says he is returning to government in his native Norway as finance minister. Stoltenberg led NATO from 2014 until he handed over to current Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the beginning of October. Before leading NATO, Stoltenberg was Norway’s prime minister. His term at NATO was repeatedly extended to keep a steady hand at the helm after Russian launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, thwarting plans for Stoltenberg to take over as head of Norway’s central bank. He is returning to government after Norway’s governing coalition split last week with the junior partner, the Center Party, announcing its departure.
