Russian minister of Finance Aleksey Kudrin cancelled planned visit to World economic forum in Davos.

This was announced by press-secretary of minister Gennady Ezhov. Davos forum will be held on January 25-29.

"Minister of Finance had to refuse from arranged visit because he didn`t get approval of direct chief - head of ministry", - informed the source.

"Instead of planned visit in Davos, where Kudrin intended to meet with French and Italian ministers of finance, the head of Russian Ministry of Finance will go to Paris and Rome, where he will meet with colleagues", - said Ezhov. By his words, during official tour Kudrin will discuss agenda of "G8" meeting, which will be held on February 10-11 in Moscow.
