"Have Been Very Good Friends Since 2001": Former UN Chief Ban Ki-Moon On Shashi Tharoor
"Shashi Tharoor and I have been very good friends since 2001. At that time, he has the head of the Department of Public Information. We had come from Asia and we had a very close and friendly relationship. Five years later we didn't think we both will become contenders for the job of the Secretary-General," says former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on his relation with Shashi Tharoor.
