Commonwealth Secretariat press release

Prince of Wales to open new Commonwealth Information Centre

31 January 2005

A new Commonwealth Information Centre in the heart of London will be opened on Monday 7 February 2005 by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. Located in Quadrant House, Pall Mall, this Information Centre is being established in response to widespread interest in raising the profile of the Commonwealth.

The Centre will be a place where journalists, students, researchers and the general public will find up-to-date information about the Commonwealth. Computers will provide access to a network of online resources, and publications detailing various aspects of the Commonwealth's work will be on display.

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales will also officially launch a new website aimed at teaching young people more about the Commonwealth on the same day. The site, which is likely to be accessed by millions of people around the Commonwealth's 53 member countries, will be located at http://www.youngcommonwealth.org/.
