Wrong! The correct answer is Geneva.
The WTO Secretariat, based in Geneva, has around 550 staff and is headed by Director-general Supachai Panitchpakdi. Its annual budget is roughly 155 million Swiss francs. It does not have branch offices outside Geneva. Since decisions are taken by the members themselves, the Secretariat does not have the decision-making role that other inter national bureaucracies are given. The WTO's top-level decision-making body is the Ministerial Conference, which meets at least once every two years.
