The British Prime Minister met with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on November 2, 2026. The talks took place ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which is set to be held in Antigua. The details and outcomes of the negotiations were not officially disclosed. Such bilateral meetings traditionally precede Commonwealth multilateral summits and are used by leaders to discuss cooperation issues, coordinate positions on international matters, and prepare for the main sessions of the forum. The Commonwealth of Nations unites more than 50 states, many of which are former British colonies, and regularly holds meetings of heads of government to discuss economic, political, and social issues of common interest to member countries.
