Spanning across Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Pacific, the Commonwealth represents a diverse community of nations working together to improve the well-being of their citizens.
Founded in 1931 and formally established through the London Declaration of 1949, the Commonwealth is rooted in historical ties to the British Empire but has evolved into a modern, dynamic organization that champions equality, respect, and shared goals. With a population of over 2.5 billion people, the majority of whom are under the age of 30, the Commonwealth focuses on empowering youth, advancing education, protecting the environment, and promoting trade and economic growth.
Through its Secretariat, headquartered in London, the Commonwealth provides practical support to member countries, facilitates collaboration on global challenges, and advocates for the rights of all its citizens. Key initiatives include addressing climate change, supporting inclusive governance, and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship across member states.
