King Charles to visit Caribbean countries for CHOGM
King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to embark on a week-long tour of Caribbean nations later this year, with the primary purpose of attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). The royal couple will be visiting Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, and Guyana, as per Buckingham Palace. CHOGM, which occurs every two years, is a gathering of heads of government from the 56 member countries of the Commonwealth, a majority of which have historical links to the United Kingdom.
These nations range from significant economic powers like Australia, Canada, and India, to smaller island states such as Tuvalu in the South Pacific. The CHOGM offers a platform for these heads of government to discuss common challenges, enhance cooperation, and explore avenues for promoting development. Prior to the CHOGM meeting, the royals will pay a state visit to Guyana, another nation where King Charles serves as the head of state.
Guyana, a former British colony, attained self-governance in 1966 and became a fully independent republic in 1970.
