Kim, a renowned health expert and educator, took office as head of the 187-nation organization in July 2012. His second-term, which begins in July next year, has been considered certain as no other candidates have come forward.
Born in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, in 1959, Kim moved to the US with his family when he was 5 years old. Kim had served as the president of Dartmouth College since 2009 before becoming the World Bank chief. (Yonhap)
