The 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda will be a moment of strategic opportunity to set the direction of our Commonwealth family and turn shared priorities into action for our 2.7 billion people.

I was pleased to meet the Hon E.P. Chet Greene, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Antigua and Barbuda, to discuss preparations for #CHOGM2026 this November.

We reaffirmed our shared commitment to ensuring CHOGM delivers practical action-oriented outcomes that advance sustainable development and shared prosperity across the Commonwealth.

Think architects just sketch buildings? You might be wrong and here is why! 🧵👇

An architect is the ultimate bridge between your imagination and reality. When you say, “I want to build,” they help you think through crucial details you might completely miss.

I am pleased to have addressed the UK Parliament’s International Affairs Committee today on the Commonwealth’s enormous potential to transform the lives of its people through trade.

With trade costs 21% lower between members, we need the UK’s support for a Commonwealth trade agenda and forward looking investments that drive growth and bolster our democracies.
