Ban wis the foreign minister o Sooth Korea frae Januar 2004 tae November 2006. In Februar 2006, he began tae campaign for the office o Secretary-General. Ban wis initially considered tae be a lang shot for the office. As foreign meenister o South Korea, however, he wis able tae travel tae aw o the kintras that wur members o the Unitit Naitions Security Cooncil, a maneuver that turned him intae the front runner.
On 11 October 2006, he wis electit tae be the aichth Secretar-General bi the Unitit Naitions General Assembly an offeecially succeedit Annan on 1 Januar 2007. Ban haes led several major refairms regardin peacekeepin an UN employment practices. Diplomatically, Ban haes taken particularly strang views on Darfur, whaur he helped persuade Sudanese Preses Omar al-Bashir tae allow peacekeepin troops tae enter Sudan; an on global wairmin, pressin the issue repeatedly wi umwhile U.S. Preses George W. Bush. Ban haes received strang criticism frae OIOS, the UN internal audit unit, statin that the secretariat, unner Ban's leadership, is "drifting intae irrelevance".[2]
In 2011, Ban ran unopposed for a seicont term as Secretar-General. On 21 Juin 2011, he wis unanimously re-electit bi the General Assembly an therefore continued tae serve till 31 December 2016, when he wis replaced bi António Guterres.[3][4]
