Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has arrived in Davos, Switzerland, for the annual World Economic Forum where he will be the key speaker.

Medvedev was scheduled to arrive on Tuesday but postponed his visit following a deadly bomb attack at a Moscow airport on Monday, which left 35 dead and over 100 injured.

The president's press secretary, Natalia Timakova, said Medvedev's schedule in Davos had been cut down to two events. He will meet with business council members uniting over 100 representatives of the world's leading companies and then speak at the opening ceremony.

The president will return to Moscow late on Wednesday.

Medvedev had originally planned to attend roundtable discussions and meet with European leaders and business representatives, but the plans were scrapped following the terrorist attack.

Timakova said the Russian delegation, led by Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, would do its best to stick to the original schedule in Davos.

This year's forum is being held under the title Shared Norms for the New Reality.
