A large crop of global leaders are expected to be in attendance at Tuesday’s World Economic Forum opening in Davos, Swizerland.

The 55th World Economic Forum brings together a large number of world leaders, chief executives of major companies, and powerful non-governmental organizations to address many significant geopolitical problems at the Swiss resort of Davos.

According to reports, over 60 heads of state and government will be present, with some 3,000 other business and political leaders.

Volodymyr Zelenksy, the president of Ukraine, plans to rally support for his nation at the huge pow-wow in the Swiss Alps, just twenty-four hours after Donald Trump was sworn in as US president. In the wake of the captive releases and the precarious ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Israeli President Isaac Herzog is also scheduled to speak.

In the afternoon, the German federal election campaign will also be on display in Davos: First, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) is scheduled to speak, followed by Friedrich Merz, the conservative bloc’s candidate to succeed him as chancellor.

Trump is also anticipated to speak on Thursday. Trump won’t be physically present, even though he’s the center of attention. He is set to address the event by video link.

Meanwhile, the Vice President Kashim Shettima is expected to lead the Nigerian delegates to the forum. He is also scheduled to participate in a workshop organised by the African Development Bank.
