Additionally, Prime Minister Gaston Browne will attend two closed executive sessions for Commonwealth Heads of Government on Friday, 24th June.

The candidates are the incumbent Secretary General, Baroness Patricia Scotland of Dominica; Senator the Kamina Johnson-Smith of Jamaica and Sir Iakoba Taeia Italeli of Tuvalu. The theme for this year’s CHOGM is “Delivering a Common Future: Connecting, Innovating, Transforming.” It focuses on key priority areas which reflect the global challenges to which the Commonwealth must adequately respond. These are fairness, prosperity, security and sustainability. Commonwealth leaders from across 54 Commonwealth countries will travel to Rwanda to reaffirm their shared values and agree on actions and policies to better the lives of all their residents. Determinations taken at CHOGM also direct the work programme of the Commonwealth Secretariat.
