Antigua Prepares to Host the 78th OECS Authority Meeting This Weekend

Antigua and Barbuda is set to host the 78th Meeting of the OECS Authority over the coming weekend, with heads including St Vincent’s Godwin Friday travelling in. The agenda for the sub-region’s top decision body typically runs on regional integration, security and shared services. For the diaspora, these meetings are where small-state coordination on trade and mobility actually gets set. The practical read comes from the communiqué, not the arrivals.
