WEF 2026: Davos fortified as it awaits global elites, from Trump to Zelenskyy

Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo DAVOS, Jan 18 :  More than 5,000 armed forces personnel, snipers at vantage points, AI-powered drones and special tools to counter spywares and espionage — security is like never before in this small Swiss town this week. As the global elites start descending on the snow-clad skiing resort town for the five-day extravaganza of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, which begins on Monday, it is teeming with not just black business suits but also blue, black, and yellow hues – the colours of the jackets worn by the army, police, and other security personnel. Checks are common at all entry points, as well as at random places, given the high-profile nature of the attendees, who include more than 400 political leaders from across the world, comprising at least 64 heads of state or government.
