About CHOGM
The Commonwealth Heads of
Government Meeting (CHOGM) is held every two years to enable leaders of
Commonwealth countries to come together to discuss global and Commonwealth
issues, and to decide on collective policies and initiatives. This year, CHOGM
is taking place in Sri Lanka, the first time an Asian country is hosting the
summit in 24 years. Commonwealth leaders have been coming together for
discussions since 1949, but the title “Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting”
was adopted during a session in Singapore in 1971. This specific classification
was used to depict the gathering of both presidents and prime ministers in the
event.
Previous CHOGMs have focused
on a range of global issues, including international peace and security,
democracy, climate change, multilateral trade issues, good governance,
sustainable development, small states, debt management, education, environment,
gender equality, health, human rights, information and communication
technology, and youth affairs.
