The NATO Secretary General, Mr. Willy Claes, informed
NATO Ambassadors at a meeting this morning of his
intention to resign today. They received this news with
deep regret and expressed their personal sympathy that
he had found it necessary to take this decision. They
also expressed their profound gratitude for his
leadership and for the major contribution which he made
to the work of the Alliance during his year in office,
which has been a momentous one for NATO.
The process of considering a possible successor has not
yet begun, and there has been no discussion among
Ambassadors on this matter.
