Who resigned as WTO Director-General?

Who resigned as WTO Director-General?

• A. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
• B. Robert Azevedo
• C. Pascal Lamy
• D. Arancha González Laya

Answer: (B)

Understanding leadership changes at the WTO helps explain why this person stands out. Robert Azevêdo served as Director-General from 2013 and chose to step down before completing a full term, with his resignation taking effect around 2020. This is notable because the other individuals listed either did not resign from the post or have not served as Director-General at all—Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is the current head, Pascal Lamy led the organization earlier and finished his term, and Arancha González Laya has held other government roles rather than the WTO post. So the one who resigned is Robert Azevêdo.
