Please join us for a town hall discussion with NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, who will present the Atlantic Alliance and its important role at a time when the rules-based international order, that Canada helped bring about and of which it remains a steadfast supporter, is being challenged.
Jens Stoltenberg is Norwegian and held various posts in the government including Prime Minister of Norway from 2005-2013
During his tenure as Prime Minister, Mr Stoltenberg frequently called for NATO to focus on security challenges close to Allied territory.
Mr Stoltenberg is a strong supporter of enhanced transatlantic cooperation, including better burden-sharing across the Atlantic. He sees NATO and the EU as complementary organisations in terms of securing peace and development in Europe and beyond.
Mr Stoltenberg has had a number of international assignments. These include chairing the UN High-level Panel on System-wide Coherence and the High-level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing. He was also UN Special Envoy on Climate Change.
Mr Stoltenberg is married to Ingrid Schulerud. Together they have two grown-up children.
