Speaking of the Commonwealth, Minister Greene stated: <em>\u201cI believe this is one of the most important forums where the issues of Antigua and Barbuda can be heard by our colleague Heads of Governments and Foreign Ministers from across the world. The Commonwealth spans well over 50 countries, which share a common history and common values. The Commonwealth provides a large platform on which Antigua and Barbuda can articulate its views on several key issues of national importance such as climate change, access to finance for small vulnerable states, and de-risking\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Honourable Maria Browne is also expected to deliver remarks at a high-level roundtable discussion on the role of women in politics.<\/p>\n<p>She will share her experience as a young woman in the politics of Antigua and Barbuda as she is the youngest woman ever elected to parliament in any Commonwealth nation. The Honourable Maria Browne MP is also expected to advocate for the greater inclusion of women in the politics of the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the above, several important meetings with key business leaders in the United Kingdom have been scheduled where the delegation will discuss important trade and investment opportunities for Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister and delegation will also meet with members of the Barbudan diaspora and donors who have contributed to the ongoing relief effort for the island. Prime Minister Browne is expected to provide an update on the current situation on the island. Finally, the delegation will attend high-level meetings with key representatives of the British cabinet to discuss the Barbuda relief effort and issues affecting members of the Antigua and Barbuda UK diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Commonwealth of Nations is an intergovernmental organization that comprises \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a053 member nations and the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting is one of the largest summits for world leaders across the globe. It is the only one where all world leaders sit as equals irrespective of country or population size. It represents the most important forum for the issues of small island developing states to be heard and addressed by the international community.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2138351425\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A high-level delegation from Antigua and Barbuda will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London from the 18th to the 20th of April 2018.
