COMMONWEALTH DAY
Commonwealth member countries today cnmumorate this unique
association of countries which vary widely in their geography
and racial and cultural backgrounds.
My Government sees the Commonwealth as an instrument for peace
and understanding, and for the political, social and economic
advancement of all its members. I have written to the
Commonwealth Secretary-General, Mr Ramphal, in response to
his message of congratulations to me following the election,
to inform him that the Government will aim particularly to
develop relationships within the Commonwealth in a manner
beneficial to the less advantaged member countries.
The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in New Delhi from
23-30 November, will provide a most useful opportunity to pursue
this objective.
