He was the chairman of the Mouvement Réformateur from 2004 to 2011.

2007

Reynders led the MR to a victory in the 2007 general elections, with the MR becoming the largest Francophone party of Belgium.

The King appointed Reynders as informateur, i.e. to start off the informal coalition talks for a new federal government.

2010

Stalemate followed the 2010 general election.

The King appointed a succession of people to negotiate a coalition from June 2010 onwards, but none succeeded in the task of forming a new government during the following seven months.

2011

He served as Federal Minister of Finance until December 2011 in six different governments, then Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade Foreign Affairs and European Affairs in two governments.

Reynders was appointed informateur by the King on 2 February 2011.

He reported on 16 February 2011, and his brief was extended through 1 March 2011.

Following the appointment of Elio Di Rupo as new Belgian Prime Minister in December 2011, Reynders became Minister of Foreign Affairs.

2015

In 2015, Reynders drew criticism for having his face painted black during a traditional festival in Brussels.

2017

In April 2017, Belgium voted in favour of the entry of Saudi Arabia, yet considered one of the most retrograde countries on the issue of women's rights, in the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

This decision raised controversy and questions about the role of Reynders.

2018

Following the government crisis of December 2018, he was also appointed to the post of Minister of Defense until November 2019.

Reynders was born in Liège as the youngest in a family of three children.

During his tenure, Belgium was elected as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (2019–2020), as well as of the United Nations Human Rights Council (2016–2018).

After the ruling coalition collapsed in 2019, Reynders also held responsibility for the defense portfolio.

Following an inconclusive election in May 2019, King Philippe asked Reynders and Johan Vande Lanotte to look into the conditions required for forming a coalition government.

In 2019, Reynders announced his candidacy to succeed Thorbjørn Jagland as Secretary General of the Council of Europe; the position instead went to Marija Pejčinović Burić.

In the summer of 2019, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel put Reynders forward as the Belgian nominee for the incoming European Commission.

President-elect Ursula von der Leyen nominated him for the Justice portfolio.

A 2022 report stated that Reynders was one of at least five senior EU officials targeted by Israeli spyware in 2021.
