Prime Minister Gaston Browne is currently in Brazil attending the Brazil-Caribbean Summit, convened by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The summit, taking place in Brasília, has drawn regional leaders for high-level talks on climate change, trade, and economic collaboration.

This gathering comes at a crucial moment in global affairs and precedes the 55th Regular Session of the Organisation of American States (OAS) General Assembly, which Antigua and Barbuda is set to host. Several of the key issues discussed in Brazil are expected to feature prominently at the upcoming hemispheric meeting.
