St John's:The World Governments Summit Organization (WGS) participated as a special guest in the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) held in St John's, Antigua and Barbuda. The gathering brought together Heads of Government from across the Commonwealth.

According to Wam, the invitation for WGS to attend the meeting came from Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda. Mohamed Yousef Al Sharhan, Managing Director of the World Governments Summit Organisation, stated that their participation reflects the organisation's growing global standing and marks a significant milestone in expanding international cooperation to shape the future.

Al Sharhan emphasized that advancing efforts to anticipate and shape the future is central to the mission of the World Governments Summit. The participation aims to strengthen the Summit's international presence, expand its network with Commonwealth countries, governments, and leaders, explore new partnership opportunities, and encourage broader participation in the World Governments Summit 2027.

During the event, Al Sharhan attended the official opening alongside heads of state and government, as well as the Commonwealth Business Forum, which included leaders from the Commonwealth's 56 member countries, ministers, senior officials, business leaders, and international organisations. The meeting, themed 'Accelerating Partnerships and Investment for a Prosperous Commonwealth,' focused on international cooperation, trade and investment, innovation, economic resilience, and sustainable development.

The Summit delegation's program involved participation in various forums and meetings aimed at strengthening cooperation between governments and businesses. This included the Commonwealth Leaders and CEOs Summit and executive sessions addressing key Commonwealth priorities and future multilateral cooperation.

The World Governments Summit's involvement in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting is a significant step in expanding its international partnership network, particularly with Latin America and the Caribbean. This follows the launch of a strategic partnership with the Association of Caribbean States in September 2025 and subsequent events dedicated to the region. The Summit is preparing for the next World Governments Summit Dialogue - Latin America and the Caribbean in November 2026 to further enhance dialogue and partnerships.
