Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting

(CHOGM) is another upcoming event on November 1st till 4th in Antigua and Barbuda, with representatives from member states to assess trade and investment, and most importantly the pliability of the island states in reference to the climate change and sustainable development.

Such gatherings have grown popular as geopolitical stability and security concerns continue to rise with regional tensions and absence of mutual consensus regarding international trade and security.

The meetings provide opportunities to developing economies in voicing their concerns related to unequal access to climate finance, economic disparities and victims of international conflicts. They provide opportunities to increase diplomatic ties and decision making for big powers.

While the resolution of these issues are still under discussion, November is expected to bring a positive end to the year through negotiations and successful policy implementations on climate, regional crisis and global economic relations.
