Updated: 2022-01-21 

Former South Korean Foreign Minister, Kang Kyung-wha, who's running for the top job at the International Labor Organization, has expressed her ambition to "make the world a better place again."
Speaking at the ILO headquarters in Geneva on Thursday, Kang said the world is experiencing deepening inequality and weakening solidarity that was brought on by a crisis caused by a number of global issues, including the pandemic.
She added she'll support a job-oriented economic recovery and work to strengthen social security systems.
Kang is up against four other candidates from Australia, Togo, France and South Africa.
The victorious candidate will be announced on March 25th.
