Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President on January 20, with various notable figures, including tech and business leaders, attending. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will represent India and meet with the new administration's representatives.

Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping, who will not be attending the event but is expected to send a highly placed envoy. Some of the names that have come forward include Vice President Han Zheng or Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

A parade of foreign leaders are furiously angling to try and receive a coveted invite to President-elect Trump’s inauguration later this month.

As Donald Trump's inauguration is set to take place on January 20, a lot of speculations over who will attend the grand event are doing rounds on social media.

Actor Jon Voight, an early Hollywood backer of Mr Trump, is a likely candidate for an invite while Stallone, who spent Thanksgiving with the president-elect, may also make an appearance. The big-name guests fit the bill for the incoming president’s promise of a “celebration of the American People and our nation”.

By inviting foreign leaders like former Brazilian president Bolsonaro to his swearing-in, Trump is breaking another norm - and US political tradition.

Trump explained his "risky" decision to break precedent by inviting foreign leaders by saying he likes to take "little chances."
