BANGKOK: -- Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said Thursday that protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban would definitely accept an invitation to talk to the government if the talk is broadcast live.

Abhisit said he believed Suthep would not turn down an invitation to a talk with caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra if it is broadcast live on TV.

Abhisit said if no talk is held, the problem will continue because the People's Democratic Reform Committee would continue to protest to demand reforms before the next election will be held.
