The Caucus, which brings together leaders from across the Caribbean’s British territories, provides a rare platform for open and strategic dialogue ahead of the Joint Ministerial Council with the UK Government. Behind the formal agenda—covering constitutional progress, financial transparency, climate resilience, and trade—lies a growing recognition that these islands must act collectively to shape the policies that affect them. For Anguilla, cooperation is no longer optional; it is essential to ensuring that its specific challenges are understood and addressed within a wider Caribbean framework.
What stands out most is the tone of the discussions. Rather than a defensive stance toward London, there is a maturing diplomatic posture—a willingness to engage as equal partners seeking pragmatic solutions. The inclusion of topics such as border security, healthcare access, and economic opportunity reflects a broader understanding that good governance and development cannot exist in isolation. Premier Richardson Hodge’s role on the panel “Our Place in the World” further reinforces Anguilla’s commitment to defining its place in a shifting global landscape, where small territories must be both nimble and united.
