UK PM Andy Burnham to push debt reset and trade at Commonwealth summit
Burnham plans taskforces on critical-minerals investment and trade barriers, plus £40 million for Caribbean infrastructure over three years.
TLDR
Burnham will urge donors beyond the G7 and the private sector to help developing countries avoid debt spirals. His spokesman said talks on the form of a British apology for slavery would begin in Antigua. Burnham is open to an apology but opposes reparations payments, while CARICOM has pushed to put reparations on the summit agenda.
