King Charles III arrives at Commonwealth Business Forum in Antigua

King Charles III arrived in Antigua and Barbuda for the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2026). Antigua and Barbuda is hosting CHOGM 2026 from November 1–4, marking the smallest nation to ever host the summit.

On November 2, King Charles III attended the parallel Commonwealth Business Forum in Osbourn, Antigua and Barbuda. He met with corporate executives and political leaders—including British Prime Minister Andy Burnham—to discuss economic cooperation, sustainable trade, and infrastructure investment seeking capital within the 56 member nations.

In addition to intra-Commonwealth economic trade targets (aiming to expand trade among member states to US$2 trillion), the King is scheduled to deliver the formal opening address to heads of government on November 3.
