BRUSSELS At a time of daunting geopolitical crises, NATO is undergoing its own version of regime change, with the arrival of a new chief official who has the blessing, at least temporarily, of one of the West's biggest adversaries: Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Former two-term Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg started work Wednesday as NATO's secretary-general, the 13th in the trans-Atlantic organization's 65-year existence. And the key question is whether his consensus-building style will be more effective in tamping down the Ukraine conflict and other flashpoints than the hard talk of his predecessor, Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

"I expect more moderate language, and that he will try to keep the dialogue open," said Kristian Berg Harpviken, director of the Peace Research Institute Oslo, an independent Norwegian research institution.

To allies like Germany, the expectation of a dial-back of the rhetoric from Rasmussen a former conservative Danish prime minister was one factor arguing in Stoltenberg's favor.

Last month, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, though squarely blaming the Kremlin for the continued crisis over Ukraine, said: "I found that some things that came out of Brussels, from NATO headquarters, in these last few weeks weren't always helpful."

Stoltenberg was unanimously chosen as Rasmussen's successor by NATO's policy-making North Atlantic Council in March. It was a pick that won swift if tentative approval from Putin, who had dealt with Stoltenberg when the 55-year-old Norwegian headed the left-of-center government of one of Russia's neighboring countries.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Norway's former prime minister, Jens Stoltenberg, began his appointment Wednesday as NATO's new secretary general.

He was appointed in March by the 28-member alliance to succeed Anders Fogh Rasmussen, whose five-year term expired on Tuesday.

While prime minister of Norway, Stoltenberg helped transform the country's armed forces so that it was equipped with deployable high-end capabilities, and committed Norwegian forces to various NATO operations.

"Mr. Stoltenberg is a strong supporter of enhanced transatlantic cooperation," according to a biography provided by NATO, "including better burden-sharing across the Atlantic. He sees NATO and the EU as complementary organizations in terms of securing peace and development in Europe and beyond."

Stoltenberg expressed his enthusiasm for his new position in a Twitter post on Wednesday, writing "Honoured and ready for NATO. I look forward to working with members and partners of the Alliance and international staff for a strong NATO."

Stoltenberg takes the helm of NATO at a challenging time for the international community. As Rasmussen's term ended, the Alliance was seeking to bolster its collective defense in the face of Russian aggression toward Ukraine and the rise of Islamic extremism in the Middle East.
