External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne and discussed ways to deepen bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, and renewable energy. Jaishankar, who arrived in the Caribbean nation to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), conveyed the warm wishes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Browne. He also congratulated Browne on successfully hosting CHOGM 2026. The two leaders discussed deepening cooperation, particularly in trade and investment, renewable energy, and food processing.
The prime minister will join the King at the formal opening of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua later and begin talks with fellow leaders about the UK issuing a formal apology for the slave trade in the next year. As part of the discussions, Downing Street said Andy Burnham would set out his plans for what it is calling a 'debt reset' to support Commonwealth countries having to deal with the growing costs of paying interest on their debts.
