CHOGM 2026 Diaspora Hub

On November 1–4, 2026, Antigua and Barbuda makes history as it hosts world leaders, diplomats, civil society, and youth delegates from 56 sovereign nations for the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2026) in St. John’s.

Coinciding with our nation’s historic 45th Anniversary of National Independence, CHOGM 2026 is a defining moment for our twin-island state on the world stage.

Our Role on ABDiaspora

This profile serves as an independent, diaspora-led media and community coverage hub curated by the ABDiaspora platform. While official state preparations are managed by the host government, our mission is to ensure our global population across the UK, US, Canada, and the wider Caribbean remains fully informed, engaged, and connected to this historic summit.

Through this dedicated community hub, ABDiaspora provides:

• Diaspora News & Briefings: Curated updates, news aggregations, and practical briefings surrounding summit preparations and side events.

• Grassroots Mobilization: Connecting overseas nationals, cultural groups, and businesses planning to visit St. John’s for Independence and CHOGM activities.

• Community Voice: Highlighting diaspora perspectives on small island development, climate resilience, youth empowerment, and Commonwealth trade.

• Global Spotlight: Showcasing Wadadli hospitality, heritage, and economic enterprise to international Commonwealth visitors and allies.

"Connecting our global citizens to history in the making."
