英国承诺就奴隶贸易道歉进行限时对话，正式道歉或在一年内作出
安提瓜和巴布达圣约翰消息，英国已同意就跨大西洋奴隶贸易的历史伤害与受影响方进行“结构化、限时、包容、善意”的对话。11 月 5 日公布的英联邦政府首脑会议最后公报写明，各国领导人“欢迎英国政府同意与受影响方进行结构化、限时、包容、善意的对话，讨论跨大西洋贩卖被奴役非洲人及其历史伤害问题”。
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆此前已为英国就其在奴隶贸易中的角色正式道歉打开大门，同时排除赔款的可能性。英国外交大臣埃德·米利班德表示，对话预计约一年内完成；被问及英国能否在明年 11 月于曼彻斯特主办二十国集团领导人峰会前正式道歉时，他回答：“大致上说，是的。”米利班德还表示，正式道歉不会让纳税人多花“一分钱”，也不会通向经济赔偿。
此前，查尔斯三世国王在英联邦峰会上称奴隶贸易令他“心怀恐惧与深切悲痛”，但未道歉、未表态支持赔偿。加勒比共同体轮值主席、圣卢西亚总理菲利普·皮埃尔对英国愿意讨论正式道歉并进入结构化对话表示欢迎。

UK Commits to Time-Bound Talks on Slavery Apology; Formal Apology Could Come Within a Year
ST. JOHN'S, Antigua and Barbuda — The United Kingdom has signed up to "structured, time-bound, inclusive and good-faith" talks addressing the "historical harms" of the transatlantic slave trade. The formal conclusions marking the end of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, published on November 5, state that leaders "welcome the agreement of the Government of the United Kingdom to engage in a structured, time-bound, inclusive and good-faith dialogue with affected parties addressing the transatlantic trafficking of enslaved Africans and its historical harms."
Prime Minister Andy Burnham had already opened the door to a formal apology on behalf of the UK for its role in the slave trade, while ruling out the prospect of reparations. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said the talks were likely to conclude in around a year; asked whether the government might reach the point of a formal apology by the time it hosts the G20 leaders' summit in Manchester next November, he told BBC Newscast: "Broadly speaking, yes." Miliband also said a formal apology would not cost taxpayers "a penny more" and would not lead to financial compensation.
King Charles III had earlier told the Commonwealth summit the slave trade left him with "fear and deep sorrow," but offered no apology and no commitment on reparations. Philip J. Pierre, the chair of the Caribbean Community and prime minister of Saint Lucia, welcomed Britain's willingness to discuss a formal apology and enter structured dialogue.
