The 72nd Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) met in London today ahead of the 26th Commonwealth Foreign Affairs Ministers Meeting (CFAMM) and next week’s Commonwealth Day celebrations.
The Group was formed in 1995 to be a custodian of the fundamental political values of the Commonwealth. It is made up of a rotating group of Foreign Ministers from eight countries, drawn from different regions, plus the Foreign Minister of the Commonwealth Chairperson-in-Office, the host of the previous Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
Held on Saturday 7 March, the meeting was chaired by Honourable Dr Ian Borg, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism of Malta. Ministers and distinguished representatives from Antigua and Barbuda, Botswana, Canada, Grenada, Malaysia, Mauritius, Samoa and Zambia were also in attendance.
CMAG meetings are convened by the Commonwealth Secretary-General, with the Commonwealth Secretariat providing support.
