First guests for Davos meeting revealed

The first guests for next year’s World Economic Forum’s meeting in Davos have been revealed.

The meeting runs from the 20th to the 24th January – we know Donald Trump won’t be attending as it clashes with his inauguration. 

But for the first time, the entire Federal Council will be present, led by Karin Keller-Sutter who will be president by then. 

Also, former councillor Alain Berset will be there – but in his capacity as head of the Council of Europe.

A large Chinese delegation is expected, but as yet, uncertain if President Xi Jinping will attend. 

Also unknown is if Ukrainian head Volodymyr Zelensky will turn up – that’s being kept secret for the moment for security reasons – but there will be no Russian delegation.
