Undated: Kim Jong Yang
(born 30 October 1961) is a South Korean police officer who is the current President of Interpol.

Prior to his Interpol career, Kim was Chief of Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency,[1] the law enforcement agency for South Korea's most populous province.[2] As a police chief, Kim took part in efforts to spread South Korean policing strategies to other nations, including the Philippines, through financial assistance and training programs.[3]

In 2015 Kim was elected as Interpol's vice-president for Asia.[4][5]

Following the arrest and detainment of Interpol President Meng Hongwei in China, Kim took on the role of Acting President.[6]

Although Interpol Vice-President and Russian interior ministry official Alexander Prokopchuk had been widely tipped to be Meng's successor, at a meeting in Dubai on 18–21 November 2018 Kim was elected to serve the remaining two years of Meng's term.[7][5] Prokopchuk's candidacy had been opposed by Western nations, which had objected to the Russian government's abuses of Interpol red notices to target dissidents and political opponents.[2]

November 21: South Korea's Kim Jong Yang was elected as Interpol's president on Wednesday, edging out a longtime veteran of Russia's security services who was strongly opposed by the U.S., Britain and other European nations.

Kim's election was seen as a victory for the White House and its European partners, who had lobbied against Alexander Prokopchuk's attempts to be named the next president of the policing organization.

The U.S. and others expressed concern that if Russia's candidate had been elected, it would lead to further Kremlin abuses of Interpol's red notice system to go after political opponents and fugitive dissidents.

Russia accused its critics of running a "campaign to discredit" their candidate, calling Prokopchuk a respected professional.
