I welcome Mark Rutte's appointment as the next NATO Secretary General.
As Prime Minister of the Netherlands for well over a decade, Mark has shown he has the knowledge, experience and strength to be an excellent Secretary General in these dangerous and uncertain times.
I would also like to thank Jens Stoltenberg, who has led NATO through these significant years for European security.
He has helped to make NATO stronger and more united than it has ever been.
Labour's commitment to NATO is unshakeable.
