This combination of file pictures created on October 7, 2020, shows South Korean Trade Minister Yoo Myung-hee in Geneva on July 16, 2020; and Nigerian former Foreign and Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in Geneva, July 15, 2020, as they give press conferences as part of their application process to head the WTO as Director-General.
Britain’s Liam Fox, Kenya’s Amina Mohamed and Saudi Arabia’s Mohammad al-Tuwaijri were knocked out in the second round Thursday. Rather than voting, the 164 WTO member states make decisions by consensus only, and have been narrowing down the field of candidates through lengthy consultations.Okonjo-Iweala, 66, served as her country’s first female finance and foreign minister and has a 25-year career behind her as a development economist at the World Bank, eventually becoming its number two.
Yoo, 53, is South Korea’s first female trade minister. She has enjoyed a career in trade diplomacy and foreign affairs in which she struck free trade agreements with China and the United States.“This is something on which everyone is agreed. We’ve been impressed with them from the very beginning. They are people with long experience dealing with tricky issues.– US-China tensions –
Okonjo on top
God almighty that has brought you this far will sure perfect it. Your wealth of experience is no doubt you are a sure fit for the position ma. God bless Okonjo-Iwela.
She will emerge as the best candidate for the job
Finally you have scaled into the last stage of this hurdle. Competing with Miss YOO of South Korea, a seasoned Trade expert & a renowned Technocrat might not be easy, but our prayers are with you because you are neither less nor an underdog. Your experience, will surely suffice.
