uninvited countries
Britain has invited heads of state or ambassadorial-level representatives from any country with which it has full diplomatic relations.
Among the uninvited countries are Syria and Venezuela, as London currently does not maintain normal diplomatic relations with these countries. Britain also did not invite representatives from Russia, Belarus or Myanmar after the imposition of economic sanctions on those countries.
