VP Attends Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa

His Excellency the Vice President of the Republic of The Gambia is currently attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Apia, Samoa from the 21st-26th October 2024. Leaders of Commonwealth countries meet every two years for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), hosted by different member countries on a rotating basis. The theme for this year’s Meeting, “One Resilient Common Future: Transforming our Common Wealth”, reflects the core pillars of the Commonwealth through a resilience lens. Building on progress since CHOGM 2022 in Rwanda, leaders will deliberate on global economic, environmental and security challenges, and discuss how Commonwealth countries can work together to build resilience, boost trade, innovation, growth and empower the Commonwealth’s 1.5 billion young people for a more peaceful and sustainable future. From building resilience to meeting climate goals, the Samoa CHOGM aims to deliver innovative solutions through bold, ambitious, and transformational actions, drive acceleration, unlocking potential in areas like fintech, entrepreneurship, and ICT education policy. CHOGM 2024 promises to deliver concrete solutions to global challenges through the principle of talanoa, fostering inclusivity, transparency, and dialogue.
