The committee planning the meeting said that CEOs from 100 global companies are expected to attend the two-day Seoul G-20 Business Summit starting November 10, just a day before the G-20 summit is convened, according to local news reports.

There will be 80 business leaders from G-20 member countries and the rest 20 will be from non-member nations, and they will discuss trade and investment, finance, green growth and social responsibilities of corporations, according to reports.

Attendees reportedly include Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank; Stephen Green, group chairman of British bank HSBC Holdings Plc.; and SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won of South Korea.
