NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana, who has announced his resignation from this position, says that being at the head of the North Atlantic Alliance was the honour of his life.
"Being at the head of NATO was the honor of my life. I thank Secretary General Stoltenberg for his trust and friendship. Together, over the past five years, we have been through many difficult moments, but we have also shared many achievements with our remarkable team. As I move on to a new chapter, I look back with pride at the memorable time spent in the service of the most important Alliance in history," Geoana wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, 3 September 2024, Mircea Geoana notified Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that he will step down as NATO Deputy Secretary General (DSG) on 10 September, according to nato.int.
Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg accepted the resignation, thanking Geoana for his service.
'I wish him all the best for the future,' said Stoltenberg.
Geoana is the first Romanian to fill this position and the first Deputy Secretary General from a country that joined the Alliance after the end of the Cold War.
Boris Ruge, Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy (PASP), will serve as Acting Deputy Secretary General until a successor is appointed.
