NETHERLANDS – Immediately past Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte has bowed out of office after serving the nation meritoriously for 14 years.

He is leaving office with his bicycle, no entourage as he drives home away from office.

Mark Rutte is due to be named Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, NATO later this year.

Already a successor in the person Dick Schoof, a former spy chief of Netherlands was sworn in on Tuesday.
