(Bloomberg) -- Jens Stoltenberg, the former Secretary General of NATO, will become the new co-chair of the Bilderberg Group, newspaper DN quoted him as saying.
The Bilderberg Meetings are annual gatherings that bring together leaders from politics, government, finance, academia and media and other industries.
Stoltenberg, 65, stepped down from his post as head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization last month. He served as a head of NATO for 10 years. He is also a former prime minister of Norway, his home country, representing the Labor Party.
Jens Stoltenberg will also be the next chair of the Munich Security Conference, a role he will start in February 2025.
The official website for Bilderberg meetings refers to Stoltenberg as incoming co-chair.
