Grenadian Prime Minister Hon. Dickon Mitchell is set to represent the Caribbean nation at the prestigious World Governments Summit (WGS) 2026, scheduled for February 3-5 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Prime Minister’s participation will feature a significant appearance on February 4th during a high-level leadership panel examining the transformative forces reshaping governmental investment strategies worldwide.
Prime Minister Mitchell will share the platform with two distinguished regional counterparts: Hon. Philip J Pierre, Prime Minister of St. Lucia, and Hon. Dr. Natalio D Wheatley, Premier of the Virgin Islands. Their collective discussion, titled ‘What Forces Are Reshaping Government Investment Decisions?’, will explore contemporary challenges and innovative approaches to public sector investment in an era of global uncertainty.
Beyond the panel discourse, Prime Minister Mitchell’s itinerary includes an extensive series of bilateral engagements with international partners and strategic stakeholders. These diplomatic meetings will concentrate on fortifying cooperative alliances, identifying potential investment ventures, advancing climate adaptation projects, and strengthening Grenada’s multilateral relationships across critical development sectors.
The Prime Minister’s involvement in the summit highlights Grenada’s dedicated approach to strategic, sustainable investment frameworks that bolster national resilience, improve public service delivery, and establish foundations for prolonged economic prosperity. His address will showcase Grenada’s distinctive experience in harmonizing tourism-centric economic expansion with climate preparedness initiatives, infrastructure modernization efforts, and responsible fiscal governance.
During Prime Minister Mitchell’s international mission, governmental responsibilities will be temporarily assumed by Hon. Lennox Andrews as acting Prime Minister, ensuring continuous governance and administrative stability throughout this diplomatic absence.
