Korn proposes that Asean jointly bid for 2018 FIFA World Cup

Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij Friday proposed that Asean nations jointly bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

He said the idea was floated by businessmen from 3 or 4 Asean countries with hope that the event would revive economies in the Asean nations.

Korn said he proposed the idea to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva who supported it.

But the prime minister said the Asean countries would have first to reach an agreement on certain issues, such as which Asean team would represent the grouping in the competition.

what did came to your mind after you read Korn in a thailand forum?

He is the Finance Minister of Thailand, that young and very tall guy in the Abhisit team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korn_Chatikavanij

problem is that the Thaivisaforum prefers to publish only selected news about Thaksin, but seldom reports about the current Government and its ministers.

but he appears in the media, english newspapers quite often, with his name Korn.
