Canadian Deputy PM might become new NATO Secretary-General

Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, says she "already" has a "really big job" but did not deny rumours that she could be in the running to become the next secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, SİA informs, citing foreign media sources.

At least four different sources — in Ottawa, Washington and Brussels, where NATO is headquartered — say Freeland's name has been tossed around for several months in international defence and security circles as a potential successor to the current secretary general, former Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg, who has been in the job since 2014.

It reached a fever pitch in the summer of 2021 when U.S.-based Politico wrote about speculation in Brussels that three former presidents of NATO nations — Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović of Croatia, Dalia Grybauskaitė of Lithuania and Kersti Kaljulaid of Estonia — were among the top contenders.
