In addition to the heads of states and governments of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Timor-Leste completed its accession to become the 11th member during this edition), various other foreign dignitaries including leaders from Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, the Russia, South Africa, and the United States, were invited. The Indian prime minister attended the 22nd ASEAN–India Summit virtually and was represented by his external affairs minister, S. Jaishankar. This list only includes arrivals of senior dignitaries and officials, generally at permanent secretary level and above, whose arrivals or presence can be confirmed. For example, Chinese commerce minister Wang Wentao's arrival was not reported but was later announced to be present at the 28th ASEAN–China Summit held on the 28 October.

Timor-Leste's prime minister, José Alexandre Gusmão, was the first head of state/government to arrive and also the last to depart. [1]
