The decision was taken by consensus at a special meeting today of the Organisation's General Council.
WTO members made history today (15 February) when the General Council agreed by consensus to select Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of Nigeria as the organization’s seventh Director-Genera
When she takes office on 1 March, Dr Okonjo-Iweala will become the first woman and the first African to be chosen as Director-Genera
"This is a very significant moment for the WTO. On behalf of the General Council, I extend our warmest congratulations
"Dr Ngozi, on behalf of all members I wish to sincerely thank you for your graciousness in these exceptional months, and for your patience. We look forward to collaborating closely with you, Dr Ngozi, and I am certain that all members will work with you constructively during your tenure as Director-Genera
Dr Okonjo-Iweala said a key priority for her would be to work with members to quickly address the economic and health consequences brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
