Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will lead Pakistan delegation to the 25th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM-2018), in London from April 18-20, 2018, Foreign Office said. According to Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal, the Prime Minister during his stay in London will call on Queen Elizabeth II, Prince of Wales and British leadership. It will also provide an opportunity to meet other Commonwealth leaders and exchange views on matters of mutual interest, he said.
The main theme of this Conference is "Towards A Common Future," he said, adding that Pakistan is one of the founding members of the organization. The current membership of the Commonwealth consists of 53 member states reflecting diversity of all continents of the world. Commonwealth provides a market of over 2.2 billion people, spread across all six continents, covering nearly a quarter of the world's land mass and a combined GDP of GBP6.9 trillion, he added.
"Participation in CHOGM-2018 would provide an opportunity to highlight the advances made by Pakistan including its transition to a modern and dynamic emerging market, which is an attractive destination for business, investment and trade," he added.
He said that the prime minister will participate actively in all executive and retreat sessions as well as a number of events being held on the sidelines of the CHOGM.
