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.
