DG search: The candidates: Korea's DG candidate on retooling the WTO: 'Success breeds success'

摘要

Korean Trade Minister Yoo Myung-hee, a candidate to lead the World Trade Organization, says she knows how to close a trade deal. With the biggest trade deal of them all - the World Trade Organization - on the brink, Yoo believes the only way forward is to prove the beleaguered institution can build on successes on its way to reform. Each success, even if modest, helps secure political support and momentum, according to Yoo; each is also critical in rebuilding trust among members to take on the structural reforms nearly everyone agrees are needed, if not what they entail.
