Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting

The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) is a biennial summit meeting of leaders from Commonwealth nations, chaired by the host country's prime minister or president. The meeting was first held in 1971 in Singapore and has been held 26 times, with the most recent one taking place in Kigali, Rwanda. CHOGMs discuss various issues affecting member nations and have attempted to orchestrate common policies on contentious issues such as apartheid, military coups, and electoral fraud. The meeting has an official theme, set by the host nation, and releases joint statements declaring the member states' opinions on certain issues.learn more on wikipedia
