US Breaks Silence On Why Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Was Rejected As DG WTO

The World Affairs Councils of America is the largest nonprofit grassroots organization in the US dedicated to educating and engaging the public on global issues.

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is currently the board of directors of GAVI, The Vaccine Alliance, also doubled as board of directors of Twitter, a two-time finance minister and former Managing Director of operations at World Bank.

She won the position of the DG WTO, but was rejected by the United States of America’s authority, but she has the support of African Union and European Union and that makes her stand a better chance than her contender, a South Korean, Yoo Myung-Hee.
