Antigua and Barbuda this week served as the host nation for one of the Caribbean's most significant security gatherings, welcoming intelligence leaders from across the region for three days of high-level discussions on pressing security challenges.
According to Antigua Observer, the event — the 35th Meeting of the Standing Committee of Regional Intelligence Heads — brought together intelligence chiefs from Caribbean Community member states. The meeting ran for three days beginning in July.
The standing committee represents a key institutional mechanism through which Caribbean nations coordinate on shared security concerns, ranging from transnational crime to regional stability. Convening the gathering in Antigua and Barbuda underscores the twin-island nation's active role in regional security cooperation.
The three-day format allowed delegates to engage in substantive dialogue on the evolving security landscape facing the Caribbean Community, as reported by Antigua Observer.
