There appears to be a new twist in the expected announcement of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s emergence as the new Director-General of the WTO.
This is because the United States through its representative at the WTO has insisted that the South Korean candidate for the post, Yoo Myung-hee is still in contention.
The United State representative further said that Washington will not recognize Okonjo-Iweala as the consensus candidate for appointment as Director-General.
As a result, the General Counsel of WTO has postponed the announcement of a new Director-General until November 9, after the conclusion of the US presidential election and after further consultations would have been made.
