Uninvited countries

Britain has invited heads of state or representatives at the ambassadorial level from any country with which it has full diplomatic relations.

Among the countries that were not invited are Syria and Venezuela because London does not currently have normal diplomatic relations with those countries. Britain also did not invite representatives from Russia, Belarus or Myanmar after imposing economic sanctions on those countries.
