FOREIGN MINISTER HAILS A&B’S ‘SIGNIFICANT’ LEADERSHIP ROLE IN COMMONWEALTH

Foreign Affairs Minister Hon. E.P. Chet Greene is confident Antigua and Barbuda’s role as Chair-in-Office of the Commonwealth for the next two years, will make a difference to the 56-nation grouping.

He says the transformational nature of Prime Minister the Right Honourable Gaston Browne will bring impetus to the work of the Commonwealth.

The twin-island state has received glowing praise for its historic hosting of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), the smallest country to ever host the biennial gathering of leaders.

Minister Greene, who also served as head of the CHOGM planning taskforce, hails Antigua and Barbuda’s leadership of the international grouping, especially in light of the country’s small size.
