He is paid a salary of 300,000 Swiss francs and an allowance of 200,000. Early life and educationAzevêdo graduated in Electrical Engineering from University of Brasília and International Relations at Rio Branco Institute.[1] Besides his native Portuguese, he is fluent in English, French and Spanish. CareerHis first diplomatic posting was to Washington in 1988. He subsequently served in the Brazilian embassy in Montevideo, Uruguay before being assigned to the Permanent Mission of Brazil in Geneva, Switzerland in 1997. In 2001 Roberto Carvalho de Azevêdo was named head of the Brazilian Foreign Ministry’s Dispute Settlement Unit where he remained until 2005. During his tenure he acted as chief litigator in many disputes at the WTO and served on WTO dispute settlement panels. From 2006 to 2008 he was Vice-Minister for Economic and Technical Affairs at the Foreign Ministry in Brasilia. In that capacity he was Brazil's chief trade negotiator for the Doha Round and represented Brazil in MERCOSUR negotiations. In 2008 he was appointed Brazil’s Ambassador in Geneva to the United Nations’ international organizations and Permanent Representative to the WTO. Ambassador Azevêdo has been a frequent lecturer on topics related to international economics and has published numerous articles on these issues. Director General of the World Trade OrganizationIn May 2013 Azevêdo was appointed to succeed Pascal Lamy as the WTO's Director General, with a term beginning 1 September 2013. There were nine nominated candidates for the role,[3] Azevêdo being considered the "insider's candidate" preferred by developing economies.[4] His opponent, Mexican Herminio Blanco, was considered to have been the preferred candidate of richer nations.[3] The Brazilian government pre-empted the official announcement of the WTO and stated that Azevêdo had won by a wide margin.[5] The official announcement from the WTO's three-person committee for selecting the Director-General was published on 8 May 2013, declaring Azevêdo as the emergent consensus candidate from several rounds of consultation. The formal election occurred at the General Council meeting on 14 May.[6] On his watch, the WTO agreed to the Bali Package in December 2013. Other activities
