Guess who's back? 🎉 WTO's trailblazing leader, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has been reappointed for a second four-year term! Starting from September 1, 2025, she'll continue to steer the World Trade Organization (WTO) into the future.
The WTO made the big announcement on Friday, stating, \"WTO members today agreed to give incumbent Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala a second term as Director-General of the WTO.\" 🌍✨
Okonjo-Iweala first made history on March 1, 2021, when she took office as the WTO's seventh director-general. Not only was she the first woman to hold the position, but also the first African! Talk about smashing glass ceilings! 💪🏾💥 Her current term runs until August 31, 2025, but with this reappointment, she'll be leading the charge well beyond that date.
Her leadership has been pivotal in navigating global trade challenges, and we can't wait to see what innovative moves she'll make in her next term. 🚀 Stay tuned for more exciting developments in the world of international trade!
