DUBAI (AFP) - Interpol announced on Wednesday (Nov 21) that Mr Kim Jong-yang of South Korea had been chosen as its new president, beating a Russian official whose candidacy had unnerved Western nations.
The United States-backed Mr Kim, Interpol's acting president, was picked at a meeting of delegates from Interpol member nations in Dubai to replace Mr Meng Hongwei, who went missing in his native China in September.
