At the meeting, "The BOK governor will share his views with other G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors on ways to boost global cooperation for sustainable and balance development of the world economy, promote reform in the global financial market and secure resources for investment," the central bank said in a press release.

Lee will also attend a two-day meeting of the International Monetary Fund's international monetary and financial committee starting Friday before returning home on Sunday. (Yonhap)
