Clinton says not pursuing World Bank job

LUSAKA, June 10 | Fri Jun 10, 2011 1:48pm EDT

LUSAKA, June 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday

said she was not in discussions over the top job at the World Bank and that she

was not pursuing the post.

" I have had no discussions with anyone, I have evidenced no interest to anyone

and I am not pursuing that position, " Clinton told reporters while on a visit to

Lusaka, Zambia.

According to sources close to Clinton and the Obama administration, she has

expressed interest in moving to the World Bank in 2012, when the current Bank

president's term ends. Despite denials from both the White House and State

Department, three sources familiar with the discussions have said the story

remains accurate.
