The former Dutch Prime Minister steps into a powerful global leadership role

After over a decade leading the Netherlands, Rutte’s next chapter begins on the international stage

Known for his pragmatism and diplomacy, Rutte aims to unify NATO against modern threats

Top officials from the U.S., UK, and EU praise his experience and leadership style

Despite long-term popularity, Rutte also faced criticism at home

His inaugural address emphasizes unity, Ukraine support, and digital warfare readiness

While many celebrate, others question whether a long-time national leader can adapt to global needs

With global tensions high, all eyes are on whether he can foster diplomacy and defense

Analysts predict modernization, stronger cybersecurity strategies, and a firmer stance on Russia and China
