KEY POINTS:
BRASILIA - Robert Zoellick, the World Bank's likely next president, said today that healing the wounds and conflicts at the bank would not be an easy task.
"My role as a potential CEO is to try to heal this institution, overcome some of the conflicts, the bruises, the wounding, the frustrations," Zoellick told a news conference in the Brazilian capital at the end of a two-week tour through Africa, Europe and Latin America.
"It's not going to be easy. There's a lot of build up here."
Zoellick has been nominated by the United States to lead the institution after Paul Wolfowitz was forced to resign over a high-paying promotion for his companion.
