SEOUL -- South Korean Trade Minister Yoo Myung-hee was selected Thursday as one of two candidates, both female, to run the World Trade Organization.
The Geneva-based agency said Yoo and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a former finance minister in Nigeria, passed the second round of the process to succeed Roberto Azevedo as director-general. The winner will be decided by consensus after the next round of consultations that the WTO said will run through Oct. 27.
