NATO chief hails Gorbachev's 'vision of a better world'

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday said Mikhail Gorbachev’s “vision of a better world remains an example,” following the death of the former Soviet leader.

“Gorbachev’s historic reforms led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, helped end the Cold War & opened the possibility of a partnership between Russia and NATO,” the secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization wrote on Twitter.
