Jens Stoltenberg (
listen ; born 16 March 1959) is a Norwegian politician, and the 13th Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He served as Prime Minister of Norway from 2000 to 2001, and from 2005 to 2013.
Stoltenberg was first elected to Parliament in 1993 for the Oslo constituency, and is a member of the Labour Party. He served as State Secretary in the Ministry of the Environment from 1990 to 1991, and as Minister of Industry from 1993 to 1996 in the Brundtland's Third Cabinet. Following the resignation of Gro Harlem Brundtland in 1996, Thorbjørn Jagland became Prime Minister, and Stoltenberg was appointed Minister of Finance, an office that he held until October 1997, when Jagland and the entire government resigned as a consequence of its 36.9 ultimatum. While in parliamentary opposition, Stoltenberg served in the standing committee on energy affairs. He became the Parliamentary Leader and Prime Minister candidate for the Labour Party in February 2000.
