Deputy Secretary of State Zoellick departs: official

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick will leave his post on Monday, after mainly focusing on China and Sudan in the No. 2 job at the department, a U.S. official said.
Zoellick had been mentioned as a possible candidate to take over as Treasury secretary, but he did not get the job. He was expected to move into the private sector.
Before joining the State Department in February 2005, Zoellick served as U.S. Trade Representative where he completed negotiations to bring China and Taiwan into the World Trade Organization.
The U.S. official who confirmed Zoellick was leaving declined to speak on the record so as to not upstage the official announcement of his departure expected at 9 a.m. by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
