LONDON, November 8 (RIA Novosti) - Russia plans to invite the heads of major international organizations to the G8 summit in St. Petersburg and to host two concerts dedicated to the event, a Russian sherpa said Tuesday in the British capital.

Igor Shuvalov said the final agenda for the summit was still being developed.

It is already known that Russia plans to invite the heads of major international organizations, including the International Energy Agency, the World Bank, the World Health Organization, and the African Union, as well as the chairman of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Shuvalov also said all ministerial meetings would be held in Moscow except for the meeting of finance ministers, which will be held in St. Petersburg.

During the summit, there will be a full-scale concert held in Moscow on Red Square dedicated to the protection of intellectual property. Another concert will be held in St. Petersburg ahead of the summit.
