Here are the major world leaders and royals going to Davos next week - and those staying at home

Wang will lead the Chinese delegation to the World Economic Forum event, according to the South China Morning Post, meaning Xi Jinping will not be attending.

Britain's future King will interview naturalist Sir David Attenborough about "inspiring generations of people to become champions for nature."

Bolsonaro was only elected in late October, meaning Davos will be his first major engagement on the international stage. "I will show our desire to trade with everyone, valuing economic freedom, bilateral agreements and fiscal balance. With these pillars, Brazil will go towards full employment and prosperity," he said.

Trump was scheduled to attend this month, but pulled out last week because of the US government shutdown. He tweeted:

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are expected to lead the US delegation in Trump's place.

Because of the Democrats intransigence on Border Security and the great importance of Safety for our Nation, I am respectfully cancelling my very important trip to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. My warmest regards and apologies to the @WEF!

Macron's busy domestic agenda, dealing with the fallout from the so-called Yellow Vest protests, will keep him away from Switzerland.

May is yet to confirm if she will be attending. The British leader is pretty busy at the moment after her Brexit deal suffered a catastrophic defeat in Parliament and the UK's 29 March EU departure date looming.

The Kremlin has hinted that Putin may travel to Davos. According to state-owned RT, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "nothing is excluded" when asked if Putin will make an appearance at the World Economic Forum event.
