Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone on Friday took over as the new Chair of the NATO Military Committee, the alliance's top military position.
    He replaces Dutch Admiral Robert Bauer, who had been at the helm of the committee for three years.
    "My election as chair of the Military Committee, strongly supported by Defence Minister (Guido) Crosetto and of which I am truly honoured, shows the trust that my colleagues, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of NATO countries, have placed in me, but it is also a consolidated recognition of Italy's importance and its fundamental role in the Atlantic forum;" Cavo Dragone told ANSA.
