During the G20 summit in New Delhi, India, U.S. President Joe Biden seized the opportunity to create lasting memories by snapping a selfie with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The moment showcased the camaraderie and engagement between the two leaders on the global stage.
President Biden’s enthusiasm didn’t end there; he also turned photographer, capturing candid snapshots of Director-General Okonjo-Iweala as she posed alongside her team and Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor to the U.S. President. These informal yet meaningful interactions highlighted the collaborative spirit and international cooperation at the heart of the G20 summit.
Okonjo-Iweala posted the “great moment” on her X page.
