The Commonwealth Foreign Ministers meet for their Annual Meeting in New York
The
Commonwealth Foreign Ministers yesterday met in New York for their
annual meeting to deliberate on a number of issues pertaining to the
work of organisation.
The
meeting chaired by the Australian Foreign Minister, Robert Carr,
reviewed progress made since last October 2011 during the Commonwealth
Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Perth, Western Australia.
Most
significantly, the meeting adopted a “Charter of the Commonwealth” and
discussed the organisation’s Strategic Plans for the next few years.
Tanzania delegation was led by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, Hon.
Bernard K. Membe (MP) and included the High Commissioner of the United
Republic of Tanzania to the United Kingdom, H.E. Ambassador Peter
Kallaghe.
In
his opening remarks, the Commonwealth Secretary General, Mr. Kamalesh
Sharma, thanked member countries for their active participation in the
process leading to the adoption of the Charter.
The
Foreign Ministers exchanged views on the new Strategic Plan Brief which
resulted from the 38th meeting of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action
Group (CMAG) held on September 28, 2012 in New York, USA. Tanzania is a
member of CMAG, a key organ of the Commonwealth.
Commenting
on the Strategic Plan, Foreign Ministers reminded members of the need
to ensure the relevance of the Commonwealth and to protect the
organisation’s core value and principles.
Indeed,
views were raised on the need to improve the Strategic Plan prepared by
the Secretariat to align it with objectives of the new Commonwealth
Charter in promoting democracy and development.
The
meeting also received a report on preparations for the next CHOGM
meeting scheduled to be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka in November 2013.
