Africa: Passing the Mantle at the Council of Commonwealth Societies

press release

Commonwealth Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma yesterday hosted a reception at the Commonwealth headquarters, Marlborough House in London, to thank the outgoing Chair of the Council of Commonwealth Societies, Lord Watson of Richmond, and to welcome the Council’s incoming Chair, Lord Howell of Guildford.

Addressing the gathering of High Commissioners from Commonwealth member countries, and representatives of Commonwealth civil society organisations, the Secretary-General observed that the transition was taking place at a propitious time – one at which the Commonwealth star is rising as interest focuses on the promising economic growth rates and trade potential to be found among its member states.
