Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha will attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland held next week from Tuesday to Friday.

Announcing her itinerary during a Thursday briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Noh Kyu-duk said the minister will attend a number of open and closed-door sessions at the Davos Forum.

The sessions will include topics such as geopolitical outlook and the future of the Korean Peninsula as well as a luncheon meeting with key guests.
