The Commonwealth Conversation

It’s been a long day with lots of things happening.

A curious thing happened at the press conference to launch our report. The Director of Communications at the Commonwealth Secretariat asked if the Commonwealth’s low profile was all his fault.

Hello from a very wet Port of Spain. The streets of Trinidad seem to be overflowing with both rain and VIPs.

After an intense few days, our report is off to the printers and will be published next week, just as Commonwealth leaders and officials turn up for CHOGM in Trinidad.

As the Conversation has gone on, a question I am frequently asked is: why should public profile matter for an association like the Commonwealth?

Over the next six weeks, in the run up to CHOGM, over fifty Commonwealth Conversation events are taking place around the world.
