WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Ban noted that upon returning to South Korea he will try to meet as many people as possible, including political and community leaders, to make the decision about the best way to serve the nation.
"I will really consider seriously how best and what I should and I could do for my country Korea," Ban stated in a press conference when asked if he would run for president in South Korea.
On December 9, South Korea's parliament voted in favor of removing President Park Geun-hye from office as the president was at the center of a scandal around "secret adviser" Choi Soon-sil, who is said to have pressured the county's biggest corporations and extorted money from them for her non-commercial funds abroad.
