As Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala prepares to take up her post of WTO Director-General, take a look at some of the issues facing the organization, as described by her in a press event after her appointment last week. #WTODG | World Trade Organization - WTO

This week, as part of #IWD2021, we looked back at the 'Women Pioneers at the WTO' series. As a fitting pinnacle, we celebrate Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. She is a true pioneer, making history as the first woman and the first African to be appointed as Director-General of the World Trade Organization in 2021. Trade is about people, says Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as she encourages girls and women interested in embarking on a career in international trade. | World Trade Organization - WTO
