U.S. President Barack Obama personally called the older son of Jim Yong Kim, who will lead the World Bank next month, to apologize to him for making his family move from Massachusetts to Washington D.C. for his father’s work, news reports said.
On Father’s Day on Sunday, Obama called Kim’s son and said, “Thank you. I owe you,” according to Yonhap News.
Obama learned in a recent interview article that the 12-year-old son of the president of Dartmouth College was disappointed about moving to Washington D.C. because of his father’s new post, news reports said.
Succeeding Robert Zoellick, Kim will serve as president of the World Bank from July 1 for the next five years.
