The selection of Roberto Azevêdo as the new head of the World Trade Organisation is undoubtably a diplomatic coup for Brazil. Under the presidency of Dilma Rousseff, the Latin American giant is continuing to try and build a reputation as the world’s mediator-in-chief, placing its candidates at the top of multilateral bodies. Mr Azevêdo’s choice follows the appointment of José Graziano da Silva as director-general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation in 2010.
羅伯托?阿澤維多(Roberto Azevêdo)當選世界貿易組織(WTO)新任總干事,無疑是巴西的外交成功。在總統迪爾瑪?羅塞芙(Dilma Rousseff)任下,這個拉美大國持續地致力于打造全球“首席調停員”的形象,一再為多邊機構高層輸送候選人。在阿澤維多當選之前,若澤?格拉濟安諾?達席爾瓦(José Graziano da Silva)于2010年被任命為聯合國糧農組織(UN Food and Agriculture Organisation)總干事。
