Commonwealth heads of government are gathering in Kigali, Rwanda, in June for the first time in four years after the usually biennial summit was twice postponed due to the Covid pandemic.
Leaders of some 50 member states will seek to find consensus on critical issues including climate finance, public health, sustainable urbanization and trade.
On the meeting’s agenda is a ‘global reset’ to navigate a post-pandemic recovery. Perhaps the most pressing internal issue is a vote on a leadership challenge to Baroness Scotland of Asthal, the Commonwealth’s current secretary-general, who has so far served one term.
