Prime Minister Harini returns after attending CHOGM 2026

Prime Minister Dr Harini Amarasuriya returned to Sri Lanka today (7th) after attending the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2026) held in Antigua and Barbuda.

The Prime Minister's media division said she took part in discussions with leaders of Commonwealth member countries on global economic and development priorities and on strengthening cooperation among member states.

The biennial summit brought together heads of government from across the 56-member Commonwealth to address shared challenges, including economic resilience and development cooperation.

The visit formed part of Sri Lanka's ongoing engagement with the Commonwealth, and officials said the discussions are expected to support the country's development agenda and its ties with member nations.

The Prime Minister led Sri Lanka's delegation at the summit, which provides smaller member states a platform to raise their economic and development concerns with larger partners. Sri Lanka has used past CHOGM meetings to build cooperation in education, trade and climate resilience.
