Sri Lanka and Antigua and Barbuda are both Commonwealth Countries. Sri Lanka hosted the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in 2013, and Antigua and Barbuda will host the gathering of 56 nations in 2026.
Ambassador Sanders said that“Antigua and Barbuda and Sri Lanka can work together to ensure the Commonwealth heads of government meeting is a success for the Organisation and all member states”. He added that“prior to the meeting in Antigua and Barbuda, prime minister Gaston Browne is working toward establishing diplomatic relations and visa waiver agreements with as many Commonwealth countries with which such arrangements do not already exist”.
This will not only make travel between Commonwealth countries easier, it will also strengthen the value of the Antigua and Barbuda passport.
