What is CHOGM?
CHOGM stands for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. Every two years, Commonwealth leaders meet for a few days to discuss global and Commonwealth issues, and to agree collective policies and initiatives.
These meetings provide a unique forum for consultation at the highest level of government. They are organised by the host nation in collaboration with the Commonwealth Secretariat.
