NEW YORK – US President Barack Obama’s nomination of Jim Yong Kim for the presidency of the World Bank has been well received – and rightly so, especially given some of the other names that were bandied about. In Kim, a public-health professor who is now President of Dartmouth College and previously led the World Health Organization’s HIV/AIDS department, the United States has put forward a good candidate.
纽约—美国总统奥巴马提名金辰勇为世界银行行长之举受到了广泛好评——理应如此，特别是其他提名也已昭告天下之时。金辰勇是公共卫生专家，现任达特茅斯大学校长，此前曾担任过世界卫生组织艾滋病部门。这是一个相当好的候选人。但候选人的国籍以及提名国——不管是大是小、是穷是富——不应该在人选决定中起到任何作用。
