The World Trade Organization (WTO) is looking for a new director general to replace Pascal Lamy. Several candidates come from developing economies, including Indonesia.
How would Indonesia benefit from having an Indonesian elected the WTO chief and what are the chances? (By Hatanto Reksodipoetro, Jakarta)
Your comments:
I would prefer Indonesia to use its best talent to deal with messed-up domestic affairs first, before taking 'prestigious' international positions.
Not that I wouldn't be proud to see an Indonesian taking such a post, as could be the case with Ms. Sri Mulyani Indrawati, and contribute to humanity and the world.
But I am too worried about our nation, which I feel has been mismanaged (like being on autopilot) for too long.
