He surprised colleagues with his laid-back style, including leaving the office at 1 p.m. on Fridays and wearing bright red slippers at summits.
Despite his unconventional approach, Luns was NATO's longest-serving secretary general, leading through significant events like the Vietnam War and the Cold War tensions.
Mark Rutte's impending leadership arrives at a critical juncture for NATO, dealing with current geopolitical turmoil and the rising threat of populism in Europe.
