Top US Personalities Urge Biden To Endorse Nigeria’s Ngozi-Iweala For WTO DG

Top US Personalities Urge Biden To Endorse Nigeria’s Ngozi-Iweala For WTO DG
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A group of top US personalities, including former senior government officials, academia, civil society and private sector have called on President Joe Biden to support the candidacy of a former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, for the office of the director-general of the World Trade Organisation.


The US leaders, including Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz, and a former ambassador to the United Nations, John Negroponte, in an open letter addressed to Biden, said Okonjo-Iweala’s victory would send a strong message of inclusion to the rest of the world.


The former minister received the support of 110 out of 164 countries as the most qualified person to lead the international trade body.
However, the WTO postponed the selection process indefinitely.


“We write to respectfully encourage you to support the candidacy of the eminently qualified Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as she seeks to become the next Director-General of the WTO. Dr Okonjo-Iweala is a dynamic woman of vision who can guide the WTO through its era of reform.


“She possesses a very rare combination of leadership and experience that is deeply grounded in international trade, finance, economics and diplomacy. Her selection, as the first American and woman of color to serve as the WTO’s director-general will send a clear message of inclusion to the rest of the world,” TheCable quoted the US leaders as saying in the letter.


The letter added, “We know Dr Okonjo-Iweala and have found her to be a woman of integrity, an honest broker and a pragmatist who consistently delivers results. We believe strongly that she can be a transformative director-general, one who — with your support — will be embraced and effective within and beyond the WTO.


“In sum, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is a uniquely qualified leader poised to help the WTO evolve and succeed for future generations. She is a leader who can also be relied on to pay due attention to the concerns many Americans have about global trade. She has what it takes to lead WTO reforms and take the organization into the future.

We deeply appreciate any consideration you may provide to her candidacy which is critically important for our nation and the world.”
