Antigua and Barbuda has secured an offer of security training support from Bangladesh following a bilateral meeting between the two nations' foreign ministers on the sidelines of the Commonwealth Foreign Ministers Meeting.
According to Antigua News Room, the Honourable E.P. Chet Greene, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Barbuda Affairs, held a productive bilateral meeting with the Honourable Dr. Hasan Mahmud Rahman, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, with the offer of assistance coming as Antigua and Barbuda prepares to host the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in 2026.
The meeting between the two ministers underscores a strengthening of diplomatic and cooperative ties between Antigua and Barbuda and Bangladesh. The security training support offered by Bangladesh is expected to contribute to the island nation's preparations for CHOGM 2026, a major international summit that will place Antigua and Barbuda in the global spotlight.
CHOGM brings together heads of government from across the 56-member Commonwealth, making robust security arrangements a critical component of the host nation's planning process. Bangladesh's offer represents a tangible expression of bilateral goodwill ahead of the landmark event.
The bilateral engagement took place within the broader context of the Commonwealth Foreign Ministers Meeting, where ministers from across the Commonwealth convened to discuss shared priorities and international cooperation.
