As an organization founded by Africans in the Diaspora with the aim of projecting Africa to the world, your re-appointment after a first term of exemplary leadership as the first African and first woman to head the WTO is a source of immense joy and inspiration to us. This is especially so, because it speaks to the quality of leadership you provided as the head of the WTO these last three (3) years, leading the organization to new heights despite the global difficulties and economic constraints post-covid.
Madam, as an organization that seeks and celebrates excellence, especially by Africans, we are especially glad to see your hard work and dedication rewarded on the world stage in this manner. We are very proud of you and are excited at what this re-appointment portends for you, the WTO, Africa, women and the world. We thank you for blazing the trail.
Please be assured our continued well wishes and support as you begin your second term as the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Congratulations once again Madam.
