Senator Penny Wong will attend U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in a show of the “steadfast alliance” between Australia and the United States, becoming the first Australian foreign minister in recent memory to receive an invitation.

Wong has been invited to the ceremony in Washington on Jan. 20, where she will meet members of the Trump administration and Congress during her visit.
