The world’s political and business elite gather for their annual meeting in the glitzy Swiss ski resort of Davos starting on January 21, with the shadow of recent attacks in France and ongoing global conflicts looming large.

French President Francois Hollande and US Secretary of State John Kerry will be among the 2,500 movers and shakers thrashing out the burning issues of the day next to the frozen slopes, exactly two weeks after the deadly attacks on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
