Earlier, the DPA agency in Germany reported that the current NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had no plans to extend his term of office. He has been in the position for almost nine years and has already extended his powers three times.

Boris Johnson resigned from the office of UK Prime Minister in July last year amid a series of scandals involving his partying in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and others.
