Ban Ki-moon officially takes over as the new United Nations Secretary-General

This one almost slipped right by me!!!
.
Finally... the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan is no longer in charge of the UN. As of January 1st 2006, Ban Ki-moon has officially taken over as the eighth United Nations Secretary-General.

.
Like most of you... I too pray that Secretary-General Ki-moon makes many new and well needed changes in policy and personal... that will help get the UN once again back into being a great institution and away from being a ‘Corrupt Debating Society’.
.
Here’s what the UN NEWS SERVICE wrote today:
. .
New Secretary-General Ban takes over at UN’s New York Headquarters
.
Tuesday, January 02, 2007
Passing an honor guard and welcomed with applause from staff, new United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived at the world body’s New York Headquarters today for his first official day of work.
.
Mr. Ban, who succeeded Kofi Annan to become the UN’s eighth Secretary-General as the New Year came in on 1 January, smiled broadly as he entered the towering landmark building on New York’s East River.
.
After paying tribute at the memorial for UN personnel who have fallen in the line of duty, he was to address staff on his hopes and aspirations.
.

Do us all well Mr. Ban Ki-moon.
