The reappointment process, which began on October 8, 2024, was led by Ambassador Petter Ølberg of Norway, Chair of the General Council. With no other nominations received by the November 8 deadline, Okonjo-Iweala was the sole candidate.


During a special General Council meeting on November 28-29, 2024, Okonjo-Iweala presented her vision for the WTO’s future. Following her presentation and a Q&A session, the Council formally endorsed her reappointment.


The General Council commended Okonjo-Iweala for her outstanding leadership, particularly in navigating global economic challenges and achieving significant milestones at the 12th and 13th Ministerial Conferences.


Okonjo-Iweala first took office as WTO Director-General on March 1, 2021, becoming the first woman and the first African to hold the position. Her first term is set to conclude on August 31, 2025.
