UK Attends Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa
27 October 2024
The United Kingdom is attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa, which began on October 26 and will continue until October 28. The meeting is being hosted by Samoa’s Prime Minister, Fiame Naomi Mata’afa.
The UK delegation is led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is attending his first CHOGM. Other UK ministers attending include Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and International Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch.
CHOGM is a biennial meeting of the leaders of the Commonwealth of Nations, a voluntary association of 56 independent countries that were mostly former territories of the British Empire. The meeting is an opportunity for leaders to discuss common challenges and opportunities, and to strengthen cooperation between Commonwealth countries.
The theme of this year’s CHOGM is “A Resilient, Sustainable, and Prosperous Future for All.” Leaders are expected to discuss a wide range of issues, including climate change, trade, and security.
In his opening remarks, Prime Minister Sunak said that the Commonwealth is a “force for good in the world” and that it can play a vital role in addressing global challenges. He also called for the Commonwealth to be more inclusive and to better represent the diversity of its members.
The UK is a major contributor to the Commonwealth, providing financial and technical assistance to many Commonwealth countries. The UK is also a strong advocate for the Commonwealth’s values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
The UK’s attendance at CHOGM is an important opportunity to strengthen its relationships with Commonwealth countries and to promote its values and interests.
