S. Korea expresses intent to host World Water Forum

ISTANBUL, March 16 (Yonhap) -- South Korean Prime Minister Han Seung-soo
expressed on Monday an intention for his country to host the 2015 World Water
Forum (WWF).

Han made the proposal here during the 5th WWF while giving a presentation on
South Korea's water-related policies, including low-carbon green growth.
Launched in 1997, the non-governmental WWF is held every three years to discuss
ways to cope with water-related issues, and is attended by government officials,
scholars, activists and businesses representatives.
Han said South Korea's green growth policy, unveiled in January, will use 50
trillion won (US$34.92 billion) over the next four years and create some 1
million jobs.
