Bewildered local tipped for UN job, The Australian, 11 February, 2002

Bewildered local tipped for UN job: [1 Edition]

Show highlighting
AUSTRALIAN aid expert Bruce Davis has denied reports that he is the frontrunner to head the World Food Program, the UN's frontline agency in the war on global hunger.
Despite the speculation, a spokesman for Mr [Alexander Downer] said Mr Davis was staying in his current job. "He is well regarded and very experienced," the spokesman said. "He has been in working in the world development area for many years."
The possibility of Mr Davis replacing her is causing angst in Washington DC, not because he is Australian, but because the US's role at the UN will be further diminished.
