In an interview with the state-run Rossiya television station to be broadcast on April 19, the Russian presidentsaid his relations with Stoltenberg were "very good."
He described Stoltenberg, who takes over in October, as "a very serious, responsible person" and voiced hope that his appointment will improve ties.
Relations between Russia and the NATO military alliance are badly strained following Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Putin has said Russia's actions in Ukraine were partly influenced by NATO's expansion into eastern Europe.
In his interview with Rossiya, he reiterated an accusation that current NATO head Anders Fogh Rasmussen had secretly taped and leaked a private conversation between them when he still served as Danish prime minister. Rasmussen has denied the charge.
Putin said there was "nothing that would hinder a normalization and normal cooperation" with the West, but said it was up to the West to make that happen.
