Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee will embark on a five-day visit to the U.S. Tuesday to attend the International Monetary Fund-World Bank annual spring meetings, sources said Sunday.

"During his trip, the Finance Minister will also attend the meetings of the G-20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors as well as Ministers of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations," the sources said, adding senior officials are to be part of the Minister's delegation.

Mukherjee is also likely to hold bilateral consultations with U. S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, UK Secretary of State for International Development Andrew Mitchell, Iranian Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Sayed Shamseddin and South Korean Minister of Strategy and Finance Bahk Jaewan.

The IMF-World Bank meetings will focus on ways to deal with the eurozone debt crisis, and issues like spiraling oil and commodity prices, climate change and disaster management.
