UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday gave the strongest signal yet that he’s willing to run for president in his native South Korea, Bloomberg reported.
Ban said he’d be inclined to run if his decade-long experience as UN head "can be of help to the country, Ban told Korean reporters in New York.
The 72-year-old said he would “burn” himself if it could help his nation -- drawing on a Korean idiom that indicates uncompromising dedication to a cause -- it said.
Even so, he said he couldn’t give a definitive answer before his tenure as UN chief expires Dec. 31.
