Britain has not invited representatives of Russia, Belarus and Myanmar to the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth, which will be held next Monday. This was reported by Reuters with reference to a source in the British government.

 Britain is trying to isolate Russia and its ally Belarus in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

 Myanmar and its military have also come under British sanctions as London steps up support for the Rohingya community in the Southeast Asian country.

 About 500 foreign high-ranking officials are expected to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth in London, the invitation has been sent to the heads of most countries with which Great Britain maintains diplomatic relations.

 Many world leaders, from US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden to the prime ministers of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, have confirmed their participation in what is likely to be one of Britain's biggest diplomatic gatherings in recent years.
