‘Peace‑building Commonwealth’ is the theme for the Commonwealth Day Celebrations this year.
Chief Protocol Officer Neumi Leweni says A Peace‑building Commonwealth reaffirms the Commonwealth Charter Principle that international peace and security, sustainable economic growth and development and the rule of law are essential to the progress and prosperity of all.
Leweni says its rich diversity becomes an even more source of inner strength and hope for its members.
Every year, Commonwealth Day is celebrated on the second Monday of March by more than 50 Commonwealth countries.
