GENEVA (Reuters) – Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and South Korea’s Yoo Myung-hee are the finalists to become the next director-general of the World Trade Organization, its spokesman said on Thursday.
The reduction of the field from five to two means, as reported by Reuters on Wednesday, that the Geneva-based trade body will be led by a woman for the first time since being set up in 1995.
