During the meeting, Minister Greene expressed sincere appreciation to the United Kingdom for the security and project management support already being provided in preparation for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2026, which will be hosted by Antigua and Barbuda in November.

Minister Elmore reaffirmed the United Kingdom’s continued commitment to supporting Antigua and Barbuda’s preparations for CHOGM and discussed the possibility of providing additional security and technical assistance as required to ensure the successful staging of the event.
