TANGIER, Morocco — On November 25, 2025, Prime Minister Gaston A. Browne of Antigua and Barbuda arrived in Morocco to participate in the 17th edition of the MEDays Forum, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. The forum, scheduled from November 26 to 29, 2025, in Tangier, brings together over 300 high-profile speakers, including Heads of State, ministers, Nobel laureates, and international experts, alongside 7,000 participants from 120 countries. This year’s theme, “Fractures & Polarization: Reinventing the Global Equation,” addresses pressing global challenges such as geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation, and the need for inclusive governance. Known as the “Forum of the South,” MEDays serves as a critical platform for emerging and developing nations to voice their concerns and shape a more equitable international order. Prime Minister Browne’s attendance highlights Antigua and Barbuda’s dedication to South-South cooperation, high-level diplomacy, and advocating for the interests of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in a multipolar world. Key discussions will focus on global governance, economic sovereignty, climate resilience, and development finance — issues of paramount importance to SIDS. The forum also aligns with Antigua and Barbuda’s goals of attracting foreign investment, fostering sustainable development, and strengthening ties with Africa and other Global South partners. Prime Minister Browne emphasized, “In a world of deepening polarization, Antigua and Barbuda must not only adapt but advocate. MEDays 2025 provides a platform to project our priorities, particularly climate resilience and economic equity.” Since its inception in 2008 by the Amadeus Institute, MEDays has evolved into a strategic hub for diplomacy, economics, and intellectual exchange, particularly for the Global South. The 2025 edition features over 50 sessions on geopolitics, economics, energy, climate, and governance, including the MEDays Investment Summit, which promotes public-private investment in Africa and beyond. The event is hosted at the Palais des Arts et de la Culture in Tangier.
