Tayyebnia will also attend the Seventh Astana Economic Conference to be held in the Kazakh capital on May 20-21.

The Second Conference of Confronting International Financial Crisis is also slated to be held in Astana during the said period.

Senior officials from over 150 countries are in Kazakhstan to attend the Seventh Astana Economic Conference in that country.
