Exclusive-WTO chief Okonjo-Iweala tells Reuters she will seek second term
Sep 16, 2024 12:03 PM

GENEVA (Reuters) - WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told Reuters on Monday that she will seek another four-year term as head of the World Trade Organization following a broad Africa-led push to start the process early.

"I would like to be part of this chapter of the WTO story and I stand ready to compete for the position," Okonjo-Iweala told Reuters, citing a letter she plans to send to the trade body's main decision-making body on Monday.

"For my second term, I intend to focus on delivering," she added, saying among the priorities were addressing "unfinished business" including a deal on ending fisheries subsidies and reaching a breakthrough in global agriculture negotiations.
