Ambassadors, diplomats and consulate generals, among other high-level representatives from 30 to 40 countries will attend the conference.
The summit, consisting of two phases, will commence on August 9. In the first phase, the chief minister will meet ambassadors and consulate-generals of various countries collectively. He will hold individual meetings with the representatives in the second phase.
