Foreign Affairs Minister E.P. Chet Greene has highlighted partnerships and investment as important tools for strengthening small and vulnerable Commonwealth countries.

Speaking at the opening of CHOGM 2026 in Antigua and Barbuda, Greene said cooperation must help countries build lasting prosperity while improving their ability to withstand challenges.

His remarks connected the summit’s investment agenda with the everyday priorities of member states, including economic opportunity, community safety and resilience.

Greene said the Commonwealth’s strength rested in its people, the connections between nations, the diversity of their experiences and their willingness to work together.
