WTO, 사무총장 선출 일정 연기... "회원국과 협의 계속"

The WTO postponed a General Council meeting that would have decided it's next director-general.
In a statement issued Friday local time, it said the session would be delayed until further notice, and that General Council Chair David Walker will continue to undertake consultations with delegations.
The meeting was planned to discuss the appointment of Nigeria's Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the next director-general of the WTO.
However, the decision was challenged by the U.S., which supports South Korea's Minister for Trade Yoo Myung-hee for the position.
