Grenada’s Office of the Prime Minister has officially announced that Prime Minister Hon. Dickon Mitchell will embark on a five-day working visit focused on advancing economic cooperation to two West African nations starting April 15, 2026. The itinerary will first take Mitchell to Taraba State, Nigeria, before the delegation moves onward to Accra, Ghana’s capital, for the continuation of the scheduled engagements.
The core objective of this regional diplomatic trip is to deepen and expand bilateral ties between Grenada and each of the two host countries. Across a packed schedule of high-level government and business meetings, discussion priorities will center on four key mutually beneficial sectors: human capital development, agricultural innovation and trade, public health system collaboration, and sustainable tourism development. These areas were selected to align with Grenada’s ongoing growth priorities and the shared development goals of all three nations.
Mitchell will be joined on the visit by two senior Grenadian officials: Trevor St Bernard, who holds dual roles as Chairman of the Grenada Solid Waste Management Authority and Deputy Chairman of the Grenada Development Bank, and Teddy St Louis, the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff. The full delegation is scheduled to complete its trip and return to Grenada on April 20, 2026.
To ensure continuous governance during the Prime Minister’s travel outside the country, Hon. Dennis Cornwall has been appointed to serve as Acting Prime Minister for the duration of Mitchell’s absence. This arrangement guarantees that all routine government functions and decision-making processes will proceed without interruption while the Prime Minister advances Grenada’s international economic and diplomatic agenda abroad.
