NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg earlier said he expected leaders at the NATO summit to agree on a pledge to spend at least 2% of GDP on defense in the future, APA rreports citing DW.
A decision to extend Stoltenberg's term in office until the NATO anniversary summit in July 2024 in Washington is also likely to be made in Vilnius. The German government and other member states have already spoken out in favor of the 64-year-old Norwegian remaining in office.
Note that last week, Stoltenberg was in the US for talks with US President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
