Mongolian Prime Minister Sanj Bayar arrived on Friday to attend the 2009 meeting of the Bo'ao Forum for Asia (BFA) from April 17 to 19 in south China's Hainan Province.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao will meet with Bayar on the sideline of the Asian Forum and they are expected to confer on bilateral relations and other regional and international issues of common concern.

The BFA, established in 2001, is a high-level forum where government, business and scholars promote regional economic integration and bring Asian countries closer to their development goals.

Under the theme "Asia: Managing Beyond Crisis," more than 2,700 participants will discuss how to cope with the international financial crisis.
