South Korea's trade minister will make it official in the coming hours that she'll run for the top job at the World Trade Organization. During a press conference Wednesday, Yoo Myung-hee will announce her bid to become the next director general of the WTO. She will become the third South Korean to run for the position. The Geneva-based organization has so far received four other candidate applications from Egypt, Mexico, Nigeria and Moldova. Registration closes on July 8th. Yoo, a renowned and a veteran negotiator in trade talks, was appointed South Korea's trade minister early last year.
