The meeting, organized by the Geneva-based World Economic Forum, will be held from Jan. 28 to Feb. 1 in the Swiss ski resort of Davos. It is expected to bring together nearly 2,000 figures from around the world, including U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Organizers have selected "Shaping the Post-Crisis World" as the main theme of this year's forum, Han's aides said. The prime minister is to meet with global leaders to explain the Korean government's green growth policy and measures to overcome the financial crisis, they added.
"The prime minister will also preside over a debate session on globalization, economic recovery and climate change."
In addition, Han will hold a series of bilateral meetings with the leaders of foreign governments and international organizations to ask for their support in South Korea's bid to join the Financial Stability Forum (FSF), according to his aides.
The FSF was created by the Group of Seven countries and other key financial players in February 1999 to promote stability in international financial centers through enhanced information exchanges and greater cooperation in financial supervision.
