Prime Minister Gaston Browne used his time at the United Nations General Assembly to highlight Antigua and Barbuda’s progress as a small island developing state. He spoke with international media in New York, stressing the country’s achievements despite global challenges.

Browne pointed to Antigua and Barbuda’s leadership in areas like climate advocacy, renewable energy, and resilience planning. He described the nation as a model for other small states navigating economic pressures, climate risks, and limited resources.

The Prime Minister also called for greater international support, reminding global partners that small islands cannot carry the burden of climate change and development alone.
