The engagement marked the culmination of a Wilton Park dialogue convened in partnership with the CSCI, bringing together senior government representatives, city leaders, investors and Commonwealth stakeholders for two days in Guyana immediately ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2026 in Antigua and Barbuda. The dialogue was a strategic contribution to CHOGM’s theme, ‘Accelerating Partnerships and Investment for a Prosperous Commonwealth.’ It explored how sustainable urbanisation can provide prosperity, resilience, inclusion and sustainable development across member states. This dialogue is the latest in a series of Wilton Park strategic discussions focused on how Commonwealth countries, and the public and private sector can be brought together to implement real world change.
