UN chief hints he could run for South Korea's presidency
UN chief Ban Ki-moon
New York - Arab Today
Outgoing UN chief Ban Ki-moon has hinted that he may shortly run for the presidency of his native South Korea, the BBC reported.
Ban's term as the world's top diplomat expires at the end of December.
In his final press conference as UN chief, Ban said that after some rest he will return to South Korea and consider how best to help his country.
South Korea's next presidential election is scheduled to be held in December 2017.
However, a poll could take place within two months after the country's parliament voted to impeach current President Park Geun-hye over an influence-peddling scandal.
Park is accused of allowing a close friend to profit from her connections with the presidency.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
