GENEVA, Feb 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. delegate to the World
Trade Organization said on Monday he was "eager" to work with
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who was appointed director-general by
consensus at a closed-door meeting. "The United States is committed to working closely with
Director General Okonjo-Iweala and she can count on the United
States to be a constructive partner," said Charge d'Affaires
David Bisbee in remarks sent to Reuters by the U.S. diplomatic
mission in Geneva.
Washington under the Trump administration blocked
Okonjo-Iweala's appointment in October in favour of her rival,
South Korea's trade minister.
