PM leaves for Antigua

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is expected to leave Trinidad and Tobago today for Antigua, where she will join world leaders, including Britain’s King Charles III, for the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).

The high-level summit, being held in St John’s from November 1 to 4, will bring together leaders and representatives of the Commonwealth’s 56-member countries to discuss major international challenges, economic cooperation, investment, climate change and sustainable development.

Works and Infrastructure Minister Jearlean John will act as Prime Minister during Persad-Bissessar’s absence.
