Antigua and Barbuda's prime minister, Gaston Browne, stated that the framework for the discussions ought to be established before the close of this year or at the start of next year. Andy Burnham, the UK prime minister, ruled out reparations but is open to an apology, and promised £40m for Caribbean infrastructure over three years. Caribbean leaders insist reparations must be part of the dialogue.
