AFRICAN LEADERSHIP

AFRICAN LEADERSHIP: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the World Trade Organisation's (WTO’s) first female and first African director-general, started work on March 1. After a long campaign, derailed in the latter stages by a President Donald Trump-administration veto, the 66-year-old Nigerian was confirmed in February. Reuters reports that Okonjo-Iweala, seen here donning a mask, participated in a meeting of the General Council on her first day. At the meeting, delegates from the WTO’s 164 member states joined virtually and agreed to hold the next major Ministerial conference, originally due to be held in Kazakhstan in 2020, in Geneva, Switzerland, on November 29.
