Nato names Stoltenberg next chief

Jens Stoltenberg, Norway's ex-Prime Minister has been appointed as Nato's next secretary in general replacing Denmark's Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Many agree that the crisis in Ukraine has demonstrated the need for Nato to show strong leadership and that Stoltenberg will be able to continue that legacy. The crisis in Ukraine has created great concern recently because of Russia's huge military build up on the borders of Ukraine. The new Nato general who will officially take office in October 2014 will also have to lead the withdrawal of Nato-led forces currently held in Afghanistan.
