Commonwealth Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma and Foreign Minister G.L Peiris will brief Commonwealth Ministers today on the preparations for the Commonwealth summit in Sri Lanka. The briefing will take place at the twelfth meeting of Commonwealth foreign affairs ministers in New York alongside the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Commonwealth Secretariat said. The Commonwealth Foreign Affairs Ministers Meeting will also bring foreign ministers up to date on preparations being made for CHOGM. Both the Secretary-General and the Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka will provide briefings on these preparations. Following the foreign ministers’ meeting, members of the nine-member Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) will meet in New York on Friday, 27 September. CMAG deals with serious or persistent violations of the Commonwealth’s fundamental political values. Its mandate enables it to engage preemptively and constructively with member states where The Commonwealth’s fundamental political values are seen to be under threat. CMAG remains engaged on the political situation in Fiji, the only country currently listed on its agenda, and which remains fully suspended from The Commonwealth. (Colombo Gazette)
